Google Tensor G5 fails tests: new Pixel chip lags behind Snapdragon by 55%.

According to Korrespondent.net: Google has introduced the new Tensor G5 chip for its Pixel smartphone series. This new generation promised significant performance boosts, but according to test results, the first Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip released in 2023 turned out to be better.

According to AnTuTu results, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 showed higher performance in both the CPU and GPU, on average outperforming Google's new chip by as much as 55%.

However, in Geekbench tests, the Tensor G5 surpassed the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in single-core performance with a slight lead of 3.6%, but in multi-core computations, Snapdragon was still stronger. Despite improvements, Google's new chip only performed better compared to the previous generation of Pixel.

Compared to the flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite, which excels in all categories by an even wider margin, the Tensor G5 still has room for improvement. Soon, smartphones featuring the new Elite 2 chip will hit the market. The first ones on the list are the Xiaomi 16 and 16 Pro, expected by the end of this year.

Samsung is also not staying behind in the race for tech innovations. They plan to release a triple-fold smartphone by the end of the year, joining the competitive market for mobile devices.
