Tensor G5 (Pixel 10), G6 (Pixel 11) chips leak reveals core configurations

The leaks about Google’s Pixel chip roadmap continue with the core configurations, as well as other specs, for the Tensor G5 and G6 releasing today.

According to Android Authoritythe Tensor G5’s CPU (TSMC’s N3E node) will reportedly continue to use the Arm Cortex-X4 introduced this year, with the G4 having a 1+3+4 configuration.

For comparison, Tensor G5 (codenamed “Laguna” after the beach) is 1+5+2 with five performance/mid Cortex-A725 (from A720) and two Cortex-A520 (unchanged).

On the GPU front, Arm Mali’s Tensor G5 goes to an instance of Imagination Technologies, which Apple used several years ago before going in-house, which supports ray tracing and GPU virtualization for accelerated graphics in virtual machines.

Finally, on the TPU (Tensor Processing Unit) side, Google’s benchmarks tout a 14% performance improvement.

Notebook control published the same Tensor G5 specs, but also has details on Tensor G6 (TSMC N3P), which goes from 1+5+2 to a 1+6 core configuration and is codenamed “Malibu”. At the heart of the flagship is the unannounced Arm Cortex-X930 (which will presumably be branded as the “X5”). Likewise, there’s the unreleased Cortex-A730. The lack of efficiency cores would match the Snapdragon 8 Elite, with Qualcomm finding the performance cores to be more than efficient.

There’s also a newer Imagination Technologies GPU that uses 15% less power.

As with the first leak, which now appears to be known to several parties, it is unclear how current this information is.
