- 1x Cortex-X4 Prime CPU core running at a clock speed of 3.78 GHz.
- 5x Cortex-A725 premium-efficiency CPU core running at a clock speed of 3.05 GHz.
- 2x Cortex-A520 high-efficiency CPU core running at a clock speed of 2.25GHz.
- The GPU is the PowerVR D-Series DXT-48-1536.
- Snapdragon 8g3 (2024): 2213/3.3 = 670.6/GHz
- Dimensity 9300 (2024): 2264/3.25 = 696.6/GHz
- Exynos 2400 (2024): 2230/3.21 = 694.7/GHz
- Tensor G4 (2024): 1958/3.1 = 631.6/GHz
- Tensor G5 (2025): 2276/3.78 = 602.1/GHz
These numbers don’t look good for the Tensor G5 since it shows the Tensor G4 as being more efficient at executing instructions than the new AP. It also shows the Tensor G5 IPC as having an IPC score 15% lower than the IPC tally for the Dimensity 9300 and the Exynos 2400(!). Remember, this is not an absolutely perfect IPC calculation, but it does give us an approximation.
Some suggest that Google throttled the AP because this is the next iteration of the foldable Pixel, not one of the regular slab phones. Also, there is the possibility that this is a test on a very early version of the chip. We’ve seen Geekbench scores improve as a particular phone moved closer to its release date. There are still about six weeks left until the Pixel 10 series gets released, so the Tensor G5 could see better scores. However, until we see better Geekbench for the Tensor G5, this latest benchmark test is concerning.
