Just weeks after wrapping up its current lineup with the Pixel 10a, Google may already be testing its new phones. A new Geekbench listing has surfaced, and while nothing is confirmed, it hints at early hardware that could belong to the Pixel 11 series, and more importantly, the next-generation Tensor G6 chip.
The listing is tied to a device called “Google Kodiak.” That name isn’t new. It was previously associated with the Pixel 10 Pro XL. But according to Notebookcheck, this new appearance could point to a Pixel 11 model instead. The reason comes down to the processor configuration.
This could be the Tensor G6 setup
The device in question runs a 7-core Tensor SoC, which is unusual. The Pixel 10 Pro XL uses an octa-core chip. That alone suggests this isn’t simply a re-test of existing hardware.
The new configuration includes one Arm C1-Ultra core clocked at 4.11GHz, four Arm C1-Pro cores at 3.38GHz, and two additional C1-Pro cores at 2.65GHz. The clock speeds are also higher than what we’ve seen on the Tensor G5.
For comparison, the Pixel 10 Pro XL is powered by an octa-core setup with one Cortex-X4 core at 3.78GHz, five Cortex-A725 cores at 3.05GHz, and two Cortex-A520 cores at 2.25GHz.
Graphics also differ. The new listing shows a PowerVR C-Series CXTP-48-1536 GPU, while the Pixel 10 Pro XL uses a PowerVR DXT-48-1536.
However, the benchmark scores are nothing to write home about. The phone posted a single-core score of 845 and a multi-core score of 2657. These numbers are extremely low for a modern flagship. It’s possible the chip is missing software optimizations, or that this is very early hardware not meant for performance testing.
Still, it’s worth being cautious. There’s no guarantee this listing is genuine. Benchmark databases are often filled with prototypes, mislabeled devices, and sometimes even fake entries. The Pixel 11 series isn’t expected until summer 2026, and the Tensor G6 hasn’t been announced.
