The upcoming Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro are officially confirmed to feature the all-new Tensor chip, a self-developed SoC by Google. The search engine giant is expected to announce the Pixel 6 series of flagship phones in October. Ahead of the launch, the Pixel 6 Pro has appeared at the Geekbench benchmarking site. The listing has revealed the configurations of the Tensor chip.
The Pixel 6 Pro’s Geekbench listing reveals the Tensor SoC has a tri-cluster CPU configuration. It has two CPU cores working at 2.84GHz, another two CPU cores clocking at 2.25GHz, and four CPU cores ticking at 1.80GHz. Reports claim that these could be Cortex-X1, Cortex-A78, and Cortex-A55, respectively. It was reported last month that the Tensor SoC could be the unreleased 5nm Samsung Exynos 9855 chip, which is codenamed as Whitechapel. Several reports have also claimed in the past the Tensor chip has the same codename.
Coming back to the Geekbench listing, the Pixel 6 Pro with Tensor is expected to offer flagship performance. The device is equipped with 12 GB of RAM, and it runs on the latest Android 12 OS. With two Cortex-X1 cores onboard, the Tensor chip may outperform the Snapdragon 888/888+ and Exynos 2100 chip.
Google Pixel 6 Pro specifications (Rumored)
Past reports have revealed that the Google Pixel 6 Pro will feature a 6.7-inch OLED panel that offers Quad HD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. It may feature a front camera of 12-megapixel and its rear shell may house a 50-megapixel main camera, a 48-megapixel telephoto sensor, and a 12-megapixel ultrawide camera.
The Pixel 6 Pro will come with 12 GB of RAM and up to 512 G of storage. It will house a 5,000mAh battery that supports 33W fast charging and 23W wireless charging. It is speculated that the Pixel 6 series may debut on Oct. 28.
