A caller benchmark has surfaced that gives america a amended thought of the Pixel 7 Pro’s specs, peculiarly the improvements of the CPU and GPU successful the Google Tensor G2 chip.

We’re each hotly anticipating the motorboat of the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro, acceptable to beryllium decently showcased astatine Google’s October 6 hardware event. Google has already fixed america an aboriginal instauration to the phones, backmost astatine Google I/O, but rather a fewer details person inactive yet to beryllium confirmed.

One of the bigger mysteries has been the upcoming “Tensor G2” chip, acceptable to beryllium the 2nd procreation of the Google Tensor spot created successful collaboration with Samsung. After making a beardown debut successful the Pixel 6 series, albeit 1 that has since lagged down the contention implicit the past year, galore person been wondering wherever Google volition instrumentality the Tensor enactment next.

Thanks to immoderate adept digging by Android developer Kuba Wojciechowski connected Twitter, we present person beardown grounds of what the Pixel 7 Pro and its Tensor G2 spot volition bring to the table, performance-wise. First, though, we request to spell done a spot of a disclaimer, arsenic overmuch of the caller accusation is sourced from a caller Geekbench listing for the Pixel 7 Pro.

It should beryllium noted that it’s reasonably casual to falsify the accusation reported by Geekbench. That said, determination are rather a fewer good details — which our squad has besides looked implicit and confirmed — that constituent to this Pixel 7 Pro benchmark being legitimate. All the same, these details should beryllium taken with a atom of salt.

Digging into the details, it looks similar Google has not changed overmuch astir the CPU cores utilized betwixt past year’s Tensor and this year’s Tensor G2. From what tin beryllium pieced together, it’s utilizing the aforesaid operation of 2 Cortex-X1 cores, 2 Cortex-A76 cores, and 4 Cortex-A55 cores, albeit with somewhat higher timepiece speeds. Those somewhat boosted speeds combined with the smaller 4nm dice size being utilized look to amended the Tensor G2 and Pixel 7 Pro multi-core benchmark by astir 10%.

While this whitethorn look disappointing astatine first, it’s imaginable this whitethorn enactment retired for the best, arsenic earthy show isn’t what we’re looking for the Pixel 7 to amended upon. As my workfellow Ben Schoon pointed out, Pixel 7 and Tensor G2 request to drawback up to the enactment the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 did successful presumption of vigor simplification and powerfulness efficiency. As Kuba speculates, it’s imaginable — though acold from confirmed — that this plan could assistance marque that level of ratio happen.

However, wherever the Pixel 7 Pro’s Tensor G2 specs do get a important boost is successful its GPU, which switches from the Mali-G78 to the Mali-G710. This caller GPU is acceptable to offer 20% amended performance, 20% amended powerfulness efficiency, and adjacent 35% amended for instrumentality learning use, 1 of the cardinal focuses of the Tensor line.

On that note, there are besides signs that Google intends to see a adjacent procreation of its Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) — codenamed “Janeiro” — successful the Tensor G2, which should connection different boost to the Pixel 7 series. One last item each but confirmed by the benchmark is that the Pixel 7 Pro volition apt diagnostic 12 GB of RAM conscionable similar the Pixel 6 Pro.

All successful all, it looks similar the Tensor G2 whitethorn not marque the Pixel 7 Pro an incredibly breathtaking update successful presumption of specs for owners of the Pixel 6 series, but the iterative upgrades could marque for a much accordant experience. For those waiting connected Google to get things “figured out” with its fledgling Tensor bid of chips, this whitethorn beryllium precisely what you were looking for.
