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

Leaks about Google’s Pixel chipset roadmap continue with core configurations, as well as other specifications, for the Tensor G5 and G6 appearing today.

according to Robot bodythe CPU for the Tensor G5 (TSMC’s N3E node) will reportedly continue to use the Arm Cortex-X4 introduced this year, with the G4 configured in a 1+3+4 configuration.

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

On the GPU front, the Tensor G5 goes from Arm Mali to one of its own Imagination techniquesUsed by Apple Several years ago Before moving on to the company, it supports ray tracing and GPU virtualization to accelerate graphics in virtual machines.

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

Examine the notebook It published the same specifications as the Tensor G5, but also contains details about the Tensor G6 (TSMC N3P), which goes from 1+5+2 to a basic 1+6 configuration and is codenamed “Malibu”. The main core is the unannounced Arm Cortex-X930 (presumably marked “X5”). Likewise, there is the Cortex-A730 that is not yet released. The lack of efficiency cores may fit with the Snapdragon 8 Elite, as Qualcomm found the performance cores to be more than efficient.

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

As with the first leak, which multiple parties now appear to have, it’s unclear how up-to-date this information is.
