It would be very unlikely for someone to have faked this listing, which would be possible but requires the person to know the exact values to fool our source who has real hardware.īased on the incomplete CPU information in this listing, leakers such as Digital Chat Station extrapolated the CPU configuration of the Google Tensor chip. The build fingerprint, kernel version string, CPU frequencies, CPU clusters, GPU info, and more match the values from our source’s Pixel 6 Pro. While we can never be 100% certain, we are strongly leaning towards this benchmark being legitimate. The Geekbench result that many assumed was from the Pixel 6 Pro. The last remaining spec that had yet to be confirmed was the CPU, which is why so much attention was put on this one Geekbench listing.

A teardown of an Android 12 beta release revealed the Pixel 6 will have a Samsung Exynos modem, which was later corroborated by Reuters. A comment left by a Googler on the Google Issue Tracker corroborated the tidbit about the off-the-shelf Mali GPU, which we now know is the Mali-G78. Google’s surprise announcement in early August confirmed most of the leaked information from last year, while confirmation for some of the remaining rumors came from other leaks. They also confirmed a few high-level details about the chipset, such as how its TPU is used to run HDRNet on every frame in a video, how the chip powers new on-device AI features, and how the chip protects user data with its second-gen Titan M2 module.

Finally, Google last month confirmed its plans to ship the Pixel 6 series with its in-house chip, called the Google Tensor. Many months passed without any news on Google’s custom silicon until 9to5Google reported in April that the chip will debut on the Pixel 6 series.

Given the challenges in developing a custom SoC, it made sense for Google to use existing CPU cores for its first mobile chipset, so these rumored specs seemed plausible to many. Rumors at the time claimed that Google’s chip will feature an octa-core ARM processor comprised of two Cortex-A78 + two Cortex-A76 + four cortex-A55 cores, an off-the-shelf Mali GPU from ARM, hardware optimized for machine learning, and optimizations for the company’s Google Assistant service. In early 2020, various Korean sources and American news website Axios reported that Google’s “whitechapel” chip will be designed in cooperation with Samsung and fabricated on SLSI’s 5nm process. All the Google Tensor rumors to dateįirst of all, a bit of context.

A recent Geekbench listing purportedly from the Google Pixel 6 Pro sparked wild speculation online about the Tensor’s CPU, and we can finally address some of those theories thanks to our source. Last, but not least, we have 12GB of RAM on the tested unit, confirming Jon Prosser's report from a few months back.Ever since rumors arose that Google was developing its own chip for Pixel phones, one of the burning questions that we’ve been asked over and over again is: What are its specifications? Leak after leak have confirmed various tidbits about the Google Tensor chip, but none have confirmed details on the most important part: the CPU. And is no surprise given that previous rumors suggest Samsung will be supplying the mmWave 5G modem as well. On the GPU front, we have the Mali-G78 GPU, which is the same one used in this year's Exynos 2100. It's highly unlikely that two Cortex-X1 cores will fit on the same chip, so we are likely looking at two pairs of Cortex-A78 cores and four Cortex-A55 cores.

The listing shows a cluster of three cores - two big cores running at 2.80GHz, two more ticking at 2.25GHz and four energy-efficient cores at 1.80GHz. The single and multi-threaded scores aren't impressive but keep in mind that this is probably just a pre-production unit so performance will be largely different upon release. A Geekbench listing has just popped up giving us some extra details about it. However, we really didn't have much on what the Tensor chipset will be until now. We are certain about a couple of things regarding the upcoming Google Pixel 6 and 6 Pro - the design, the fact that they will use a custom Tensor SoC co-developed with Samsung and that the Korean tech giant will also be supplying the 50MP main camera.
