The AnTuTu Benchmark scores of the Pixel 9 series models have recently surfaced online, revealing their performances using the rumored Tensor G4 chip. However, according to the scores, the lineup won’t gain much of a performance boost compared to its predecessor.
The anticipated series includes the standard Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and Pixel 9 Pro XL. As shared earlier, all the models are expected to be armed with the Google Tensor G4 chipset, which will be the successor of the Tensor G3 in the Pixel 8 series.
A recent discovery by folks at Rozetked revealed that the 8-core Tensor G4 will be composed of 1x Cortex-X4 core (3.1 GHz), 3x Cortex-A720 (2.6 GHz), and 4x Cortex-A520 (1.95 GHz) cores. With this configuration, the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and Pixel 9 Pro XL reportedly registered 1,071,616, 1,148,452, and 1,176,410 points on the AnTuTu benchmark tests.
While the numbers might look impressive to some, it is important to note that these numbers are not that far from the earlier AnTuTu scores the Pixel 8 received in the past. To recall, with the Tensor G3, the lineup received around 900,000 scores on the same platform. This could mean that the Tensor G4 won’t offer any substantial performance difference from its predecessor.
On a positive note, Google is reportedly moving away from Samsung in the production of Tensor chips in Pixel 10. According to leaks, TSMC will start working for Google, starting with Pixel 10. The series will be armed with the Tensor G5, which was confirmed to be called “Laguna Beach” internally. This move is expected to make Google’s chip more efficient, resulting in better performance of future Pixels. Sadly, the Pixel 9 is still not part of this plan.
