Pixel 11’s Tensor G6 Could Be Fast, Just Not for Gaming

The leaked Tensor G6 appears to use ARM’s new C1 CPU cores, but Google may keep a GPU first seen in 2021.

  • Tipster Mystic Leaks revealed details on Thursday about the upcoming Pixel 11 series, showing the new Tensor G6 chipset features significant CPU upgrades paired with an older GPU.
  • The Tensor G6 uses ARM's C1-series cores in a 7-core layout, including one C1-Ultra core at 4.11GHz and six C1-Pro cores, marking a significant performance leap over the previous Tensor G5.
  • Despite CPU advancements, the chipset reportedly relies on the PowerVR CXTP-48-1536 GPU, a 2021 design that lacks support for Vulkan 1.4, limiting gaming performance.
  • Leaks also identify the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, and Pixel 11 Pro XL by codenames "Cubs," "Grizzly," and "Kodiak," while suggesting potential shifts to MediaTek's M90 modem and Titan M3 security chip.
  • Google may utilize TSMC's advanced manufacturing process for the Tensor G6, potentially improving thermal performance and battery life to address long-standing user complaints about heat and efficiency.
