A mysterious device called Google Frankel has been spotted on Geekbench and many believe that it is actually the Tensor G5. The benchmark results show that the said processor works with one main core with a frequency of 3.4 GHz, five cores with a frequency of 2.86 GHz and two cores with a frequency of 2.44 GHz.

According to a whistleblower at X, TSMC will take over from Samsung the responsibility for the production of the G5 and G6 tensors that will be included in the Google Pixel 10 and 11 models. Tensor G5 with the code name “Laguna” is manufactured in the 3nm class N3E process; The process by which the A18 Pro chip of the iPhone 16 Pro was produced.
Tensor G5’s octa-core processor will have one main Cortex-X4 core, five high-power Cortex-A725 cores and two low-power Cortex-A520 cores. In addition, the dual-core graphics unit DXT-48-1536, which works at a frequency of 1.1 GHz, will be present in the chip.
According to the whistleblower, Google’s mystery chip uses Power VR graphics and not the DXT-48-1536. However, the benchmark results can be considered as belonging to the G5 tensor. The chip achieved single-core and multi-core scores of 1,323 and 4,004, which are much lower than other mobile processors. In any case, we should not pay too much attention to the mentioned numbers, because they are related to the initial version of the processor.
