Google launched its new Pixel 10 on Wednesday, and it options Google’s personal new Tensor G5 chip, which the corporate says is 34 % quicker than its predecessor. That sounds nice for Pixel clients, however should you hold observe of the traits within the smartphone market general, you’re in all probability excited by how the Tensor G5 performs towards Apple chips.
The Pixel 10 gained’t begin delivery till August 10, however Wccf Tech noticed benchmark outcomes for the Pixel 10 Professional XL and the brand new chip within the Geekbench 6 Browser. Wccf Tech calls the beneficial properties from the brand new Tensor G5 “spectacular” in comparison with the Tensor G4. However we took the numbers and in contrast them to the A18 chips within the iPhone 16 collection, and nicely, the Tensor G5’s scores are usually not so spectacular.
Geekbench 6: Google Tensor G5 vs. Apple A18 chips
Outcomes are scores. Larger scores/longer bars are quicker.
The A18 Professional is 30 % quicker than the Tensor G5 in Geekbench 6’s Multi-Core take a look at, and 45 % quicker in Single-Core. Even the A16 Bionic–launched three years in the past and at the moment within the iPhone 15–is a bit quicker than the Tensor G5, albeit by lower than 10 %.
To present the Tensor G5 some credit score, we right here at Macworld have been saying for some time that Apple silicon is so quick that numerous customers don’t reap the benefits of the efficiency. So the Tensor G5 is quick sufficient for many customers, identical to we generally say {that a} year-old Cellphone 15 is an effective sufficient telephone for lots of consumers. (An iPhone 15 is $100 lower than a Google Pixel 10, by the way in which.)
In any case, the benchmarks present how a lot of a bonus Apple has with an growing older chipset–Apple is anticipated to introduce the A19 chip within the subsequent few weeks as a part of its iPhone 17 introduction. Which suggests the efficiency hole is barely going to get wider.
