Tensor G5 Leaks: 36% Performance Boost

According to benchmark database leaks, the Tensor G5, which is expected to make its first appearance in the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, performs about 36% better than the Tensor G4 predecessor. This is the first chip developed by Google using TSMC's 3nm technology. 

According to reports, the architecture outperforms the previous generation in both single-core and multi-core benchmarks and offers a novel 1+5+2+1 core configuration. An important turning point in Google's chip independence strategy was the decision to switch from Samsung to TSMC for production. Significant gains in thermal control and power efficiency are also brought by this.

Pixel 10 Series & G5 Expectations

According to leaks, the Tensor G5 chip will be used in the entire Pixel 10 lineup. According to rumors, the Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro Fold will come with 16GB of RAM, new Android 16 features, upgraded camera modules, and next-generation AI capabilities. 

Google may stick with an upgraded Exynos modem for 5G support, despite previous worries about modem supply chains. The gadgets are expected to be revealed at a Google hardware event in the middle of August 2025.
