The Google Pixel 10 has been officially announced, with the Google Tensor G5 SoC and 16 GB of RAM running the show, however independent performance benchmarks have yet to prove the capabilities of said Tensor G5. A recently leaked Geekbench 6 CPU comparison, however, puts forward some impressive numbers from the new SoC. According to the leaked benchmark results, posted to r/pixel_phones on Reddit , the Google Tensor G5 in the Google Pixel 10 XL scored 2,296 in single-core tests, with the multicore score coming in at 6,203 points.

By comparison, the Geekbench 6 charts list the chart-topping Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra and its Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite as having a single-core score of 2,867 points and a multicore score of 9,491 points. Meanwhile, the Google Pixel 9 Pro scored just 1,876 points in single-core benchmarks and 4,337 points in multicore. This puts the Tensor G5 a solid 22% ahead of its predecessor, but still 20% behind the Samsung flagship in single-core performance. The gap grows in multicore benchmarks, however, where the Tensor G5 is still around 35% slower than the Snapdragon 8 Elite but a decent 43% faster than the G4 that preceded it. Google Tensor SoCs have never been known for their raw performance, but it's clear that Google has put some effort into making its Tensor SoCs more powerful. We will likely see more testing reveal the real-world performance improvements of the Tensor G5 when full reviews are released later this month around the phone's actual retail availability date.
