The first benchmark results of the Google Tensor G5 chip have been revealed

The first benchmark results of Google’s Tensor G5 chip have been revealed. This chip is the first Google mobile chip that is produced using TSMC’s advanced 3nm manufacturing technology and the new N3E architecture.

Previously, features such as a new central core and support for ray tracing technology were proposed for this chip.

However, unlike Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, which uses custom cores, Google has decided not to use this feature in the Tensor G5. How will this decision affect the overall performance of the chip? Unfortunately, the initial results of the performance tests show a lower than expected performance for this chip and have disappointed many analysts.

In the latest results of the Geekbench 6 test, the Tensor G5 chip in the multi-core test could not reach Apple’s M4 Max chip in the single-core test. The Tensor G5 uses a 1+5+2 configuration, but instead of the new Cortex-X925 cores, The older uses Cortex-X4. Meanwhile, the other five cores are Cortex-A725 and two low-power Cortex-A520 cores.

Despite these changes, this chip only achieved a single-core score of 1323 and a multi-core score of 4004, which is very poor compared to the competition.

These results show that either the G5 Tensor chip is still in the early stages of development and the final results will show better performance, or that Google does not care much about competing with current generation chips.
