Google just unveiled the Google Pixel 8a, and now we hear that the company is working on its next smartphone series- the Pixel 9 series. As is the tradition, rumours, and leaks have started to make their way on the internet. We now hear that the upcoming Google Pixel 9 series can be powered by a new Tensor G4 chip. Read along to find out more about it.
The Pixel 9 series is expected to drop in October this year. But ahead of the launch, a new leak suggests that Google will use a new Tensor G4 chip for this smartphone lineup. The new chip will reportedly offer enhanced and power-packed performance as compared to its predecessor. In a series of leaks, some impressive benchmark scores of this Tensor chip were revealed.

According to a leak by Rozetked, the Tensor G4 chip packs an eight-core configuration, instead of the nine-core setup on the Tensor G3. It has a Cortex-X4 core running at 3.1GHz, three Cortex-A720 cores at 2.6GHz, and four Cortex-A520 cores capped at 1.95GHz. If we think of it, on paper these are lower than its predecessor. However, the benchmark scores tell a different story.
The Tensor G4 achieved an AnTuTu score of 1,071,616, which is more than the Tensor G3-powered Pixel 8’s score of approximately 900,000. The Pixel 9 Pro got a score of 1,148,452, while the Pixel 9 Pro XL topped the chart with a score of 1,176,410. This means that Tensor G4 will offer a lot more power.
Well, there’s still time before the Pixel 9 series drops, let’s wait and see how things work out and how powerful this is in real life.
