The Tensor G5 chipset has been identified on the Geekbench browser, revealing several of its specifications. Allegedly codenamed “Frankel,” it features eight cores: one prime core operating at 3.4GHz, five mid-cores at 2.
86GHz, and two additional cores capped at 2.44GHz. This SoC is based on ARMv8 architecture and is expected to be paired with approximately 11.
07GB of RAM. Furthermore, the rumored chipset appears to be running on Android 15 OS, which has already been made available for Pixel smartphones. Nevertheless, the actual Pixel 10 devices are likely to launch with Android 16 pre-installed, as Google has confirmed the release timeline for its next operating system, aligning with the anticipated launch schedule for the Pixel 10 series.
In the Geekbench 6.3.0 benchmark for Android AArch64, the Tensor G5 chipset achieved scores of 1,323 for single-core performance and 4,004 for multi-core performance.
Additionally, a report from Android Authority indicates that Google may implement a new PowerVR architecture, created by Imagination Technologies, for the GPU of the Tensor G5. Wow - Google may be planning to ship a major kernel upgrade to all its (Tensor-powered) Pixel phones! Current Tensor Pixels may be upgraded to Linux kernel 6.1, according to comments left on an AOSP patch by Google engineers.
