Google launched its new Pixel 10 on Wednesday, and it options Google’s personal new Tensor G5 chip, which the corporate says is 34 % sooner than its predecessor. That sounds nice for Pixel prospects, however for those who maintain monitor of the tendencies within the smartphone market general, you’re in all probability fascinated about how the Tensor G5 performs towards Apple chips.
The Pixel 10 isn’t obtainable but, 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 positive aspects 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 should not so spectacular.
Geekbench 6: Google Tensor G5 vs. Apple A18 chips
Outcomes are scores. Larger scores/longer bars are sooner.
The A18 Professional is 30 % sooner than the Tensor G5 in Geekbench 6’s Multi-Core check, and 45 % sooner in Single-Core. Even the A16 Bionic–launched three years in the past and at present within the iPhone 15–is a bit sooner than the Tensor G5, albeit by lower than 10 %.
To offer the Tensor G5 some credit score, we right here at Macworld have been saying for some time that Apple silicon is so quick that plenty of customers don’t make the most of the efficiency. So the Tensor G5 is quick sufficient for many customers, identical to we typically say {that a} year-old Cellphone 15 is an efficient sufficient telephone for lots of shoppers. (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 old chipset–Apple is anticipated to introduce the A19 chip within the subsequent few weeks as a part of its iPhone 17 introduction. Which implies the efficiency hole is just going to get wider.
