The Geekbench listing for the Google Pixel 9 has provided some insights into its potential performance. The scores obtained in the benchmark tests, with a single-core score of 1,653 and a multi-core score of 3,313, may not be considered impressive when compared to the previous Pixel 8 series and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC.
However, the listing also revealed that the Pixel 9 will come equipped with a chipset codenamed “Tokay,” which is believed to be associated with the Tensor G4 SoC. This next-generation custom processor for the Pixel 9 will feature an octa-core CPU configuration. It will consist of one prime CPU core operating at 3.10GHz, three mid-cores at 2.60GHz, and four cores capped at 1.95GHz.
In comparison, the Tensor G3, which is found in the previous Pixel series, boasts nine CPU cores. This suggests that the Pixel 9’s processor may have undergone some changes and optimizations to improve its performance and efficiency.
While the benchmark scores may not be groundbreaking, it is important to note that Geekbench results do not always provide a complete picture of real-world performance. Other factors such as software optimization and overall user experience can also play a significant role in determining the device’s performance.
Overall, the Geekbench listing has given us a glimpse into the potential performance of the Google Pixel 9. With its rumored inclusion of Android 14 and 8GB of RAM, along with the new Tensor G4 SoC, it will be interesting to see how the device performs in real-world usage scenarios.
According to previous reports, the Tensor G4 is expected to bring improvements compared to its predecessor, the Tensor G3. The Pixel 9 is rumored to have achieved an AnTuTu score of 1,071,616, slightly surpassing the score of around 900,000 achieved by the Pixel 8 powered by the Tensor G3. However, it should be noted that the Pixel 9 series is still in the early stages of development, and there is a possibility that the benchmark tests were conducted on a non-functional unit. Therefore, it is advisable to approach these scores with caution.
It is anticipated that Google will unveil the Pixel 9 series alongside the Pixel Fold 2 in October. The standard Pixel 9 is expected to feature a 6.24-inch display, while the Pro model might come with a slightly larger 6.34-inch screen.
