Google's Tensor G6 chip was officially launched yesterday, supposedly using TSMC's 2nm technology. However, according to a CNA report, Google's Vice President of Hardware, Peng Yujun, stated that the Tensor G6 chip actually uses TSMC's latest 3nm process which has been improved.
This will slightly reduce the performance and also the ability to reduce battery consumption of the Tensor G6 if it uses 2nm technology. We were unable to perform benchmark tests on the Pixel 11 Pro XL and Pixel 11 Pro Fold that were received for review because their assembly was blocked. This is a tactic used by Samsung and Xiaomi before the devices were publicly sold.
Based on the i 7-core CPU configuration consisting of 1 Arm C1-Ultra core 4.11GHz, 4 Arm C1-Pro cores 3.38 GHz and 2 Arm C1-Pro cores 2.65GHz, it can be predicted that the Tensor G6's benchmark scores will be lower than those of the Dimensity 9500 and Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.
