Google Refers To Its Upcoming Tensor G4 For The Pixel 9 Series As ‘Game-Changing’ But Does Not Provide Any Specific Benchmarking Comparisons

The Tensor G4 is expected to be announced next month, alongside the Google Pixel 9 series that includes three smartphones with the ‘candy bar’ form factor and one foldable handset. Historically, the advertising giant’s chipsets have been significantly slower than the competition and are less energy efficient as Google continues to rely on Samsung’s older manufacturing processes instead of TSMC. However, in the latest marketing material, the Tensor G4 is referred to as ‘game-changing,’ but no evidence is given on how capable the SoC will be.

Previous benchmarking revealed that the Tensor G4 obtained a 33 percent performance bump compared to the Tensor G3

The collaboration of 91mobiles and @OnLeaks has introduced a gallery of marketing images that talk about various Pixel 9 features. There is also the mention of the Tensor G4, which will be Google’s latest and greatest chipset that has supposedly leveraged Samsung’s newest 4nm process, with the company talking about the SoC being ‘game-changing.’ Unfortunately, that is all the information available, as no performance comparisons have been provided. However, a previous AnTuTu benchmark not only revealed the Tensor G4’s CPU cluster but also how capable it was against the Tensor G3.

Sporting a ‘1 + 3 + 4’ CPU cluster, the Tensor G4 running in the Pixel 9 Pro XL was 33 percent faster than the Tensor G3 powering the Pixel 8. While this is more than a decent jump, it is important to note that AnTuTu is not the most accurate test to determine how fast two chipset generations are. Google did not mention in the image if the Tensor G4 features the FOWLP or ‘Fan out Wafer Level Packaging’ like the Exynos 2400, but it should aid the silicon in maintaining its thermals better than previous-generation Tensor releases, resulting in a higher multi-core score.

We expect the Tensor G4 to be slower than the
