The Pixel 11’s Tensor G6 chip is sounding a little underwhelming in latest leak

• A new Tensor G6 leak appears to support old reports of a move to a PowerVR CXT GPU.
• Compared to the DXT GPU in the G5, we may not see any graphics performance gains.
• For the CPU, the Tensor G6 may move to Arm’s new C1-Ultra and C1-Pro cores.

Google’s Pixel 11 phones are still a few months away, but we’ve been anticipating this hardware for basically years at this point — and that includes the latest Tensor G6 SoC we’re expecting to power the lineup. Going back as far as 2024, though, we’ve been anticipating certain sacrifices that might pop up in the Tensor G6, including the use of a GPU originally intended for the G4. And now as we get closer to seeing this silicon actually debut, we’re starting to hear a little more about what to expect from it.
