Google’s Tensor G4 chip, which is poised to power Pixel 9 series, has been spotted on Geekbench 5 with disappointing scores.
According to the alleged Geekbench score, the Tensor G4 is undergoing structural changes and achieved a score that’s around 19% lower than the Pixel 8’s Tensor G3 chip. The chipset is also poised to power the upcoming Pixel Fold 2.
Tensor G4 is slow in alleged Geekbench 5 tests
The Tensor G4’sGeekbench score, shared by@QaM_Section31and later reported byNoteBookCheck, suggests the chipset packs an 8-core CPU. The processor has been spotted with a device codenamed “Google Tokay”.
The Pixel 8’s Tensor G3 has nine cores, so it’s a bit unusual for the Tensor G4 to have an eight-core CPU. Be warned that Geekbench scores aren’t very reliable, and can be manipulated easily. The benchmarking website suggests Tensor G4 has an Arm Mali G715 GPU.
The eight CPU cores include one Cortex X4/X5 core clocked at 3.1 GHz, three Cortex A7xx cores at 2.6 GHz, and four Cortex A5xx cores at 1.95 GHz.

The chipset’s testing on either the Pixel 9 or the9 Proisn’t confirmed. There’s a possibility that the tests were conducted on a dummy unit. It’s advisable to take these scores with a pinch of salt, as it’s still very early in the development lifecycle.
