Pixel 10's Tensor G5 SoC Specs Revealed: A Surprising GPU Switch and Major CPU Gains

New details have surfaced regarding Google's next-generation Tensor G5 system-on-a-chip (SoC), which is expected to power the upcoming Pixel 10 series. Based on  ComputerBase reportedly obtained from Google, the new chipset features significant changes, including a switch to a GPU from Imagination Technologies and a revamped CPU architecture.

The most notable change is in the graphics department. The Tensor G5 will reportedly integrate an IMG DXT-48-1536 GPU, a high-end configuration from Imagination's PowerVR DXT series. This move marks a significant return for Imagination's GPU IP to a flagship mobile platform. However, a key detail is that this new GPU will not feature support for hardware-accelerated ray tracing.

Tensor G5

On the CPU side, the Tensor G5 adopts a new 1+5+2 tri-cluster configuration, a shift from the 1+3+4 design of its predecessor. This new layout increases the number of performance cores. The architecture consists of a single high-performance Cortex-X4 prime core, five updated Cortex-A725 performance cores, and two Cortex-A520 efficiency cores.

This new architecture is also paired with significant clock speed improvements. The Tensor G5's Cortex-X4 core is clocked at 3.78GHz, the five Cortex-A725 cores run at 3.05GHz, and the two Cortex-A520 cores at 2.25GHz. This is a considerable step up from the Tensor G4, which featured a 3.1GHz Cortex-X4, three 2.6GHz Cortex-A720 cores, and four 1.92GHz Cortex-A520 cores.

These architectural and frequency enhancements translate into substantial performance gains. According to early GeekBench 6 scores, the Tensor G5 achieves a single-core score of 2242 and a multi-core score of 5981. This represents a 15.09% improvement in single-core performance and an impressive 32.03% jump in multi-core performance, contributing to an overall average CPU performance boost of 34% over the previous generation.
