An early, restricted leak round Google’s upcoming Pixel 11 sequence provides some restricted particulars across the Tensor G6 chipset inside, with a mixture of excellent news and unhealthy information.
Mystic Leaks at present posted an addendum to the latest Pixel 11 Professional Fold wallpaper leak. The animated video variants we talked about in our protection are actually accessible by means of this newest leak, which additionally reiterates these “Lunar Tides” and “Tidal Swirl” names.
However the feedback reveal some much more tantalizing particulars.
The leaker posted a strategically cut-off picture that reveals a few key particulars concerning the Tensor G6 chipset within the Pixel 11 sequence.
So far as the GPU goes, Tensor G6 isn’t wanting all that a lot better than Tensor G5, with an Creativeness/PowerVR C-Collection CXTP-48-1536 GPU. This appeared in some earlier leaks, and it’s nonetheless an outdated GPU that dates again to 2021. It’s unclear if Google is probably utilizing a more recent variant, nevertheless it’s an outdated setup nonetheless, and one which’s certain to rub lovers the fallacious approach.
That mentioned, the CPU upgrades look promising.
Whereas the precise core setup is obfuscated, Tensor G6 is outwardly utilizing not less than one ARM C1 Extremely core at 4.11GHz, 4 C1-Professional cores at 3.38GHz, and two extra C1-Professional cores at 2.65GHz. ARM launched its C1 cores within the second half of 2025 and so they’re additionally utilized in MediaTek’s Dimensity 9500 chipset.
Tensor G5 is constructed on a 1+5+2 setup, utilizing Cortex-X4, Cortex-A725, and Cortex-A520. So, simply wanting on the CPU cores themselves, Tensor G6 is doubtlessly off to an awesome begin. The C1-Professional cores are extra highly effective than the A725 cores, and even the lower-clocked cores will present extra energy than the A520 (that are similar to C1-Nano cores that Google shouldn’t be utilizing). Prior reporting (from earlier than ARM launched new branding) instructed a 1+6 setup, which might level to Google utilizing only one C1-Extremely core. That report had additionally talked about higher energy effectivity from the GPU.
We’ll have to attend for extra particulars to return in, after all, particularly as there’s data within the screenshot that’s redacted. The submit does point out the “Cubs,” “Grizzly,” and “Kodiak” codenames of the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Professional, and Pixel 11 Professional XL, respectively.
