Google’s next-generation Tensor G6 chipset is expected to deliver improved performance and efficiency gains. According to reports, the chip will be produced using TSMC’s 2nm manufacturing process, which could result in up to 15% better performance than its predecessor, the Tensor G5.
The new chipset is still unofficially confirmed by Google, but it has been rumored since October 2024. The latest report from Commercial Times Taiwan suggests that the chip will be built on TSMC’s narrower 2nm class node instead of the previously stated N3P node. This could further enhance its performance and power efficiency.
Compared to the current Tensor G4, which powers the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL, the Tensor G6 is expected to offer significant improvements. The new chipset will feature a single ARM Cortex-X930 prime core, six Cortex-A730 performance cores, and a Cortex-A530 efficiency core.
The Tensor G6 is also anticipated to arrive in next year’s smartphones, including the Pixel 11 and Pixel 11 Pro, along with a 3-core IMG CXTP GPU clocked at 1.1 GHz. With these upgrades, Google is expected to deliver improved performance and efficiency gains, setting a new standard for its Tensor-powered devices.
