The next-gen Pixel 10 family of smartphones will be powered by Google's new in-house Tensor G5 processor, where in leaked benchmarks it is up to 36% faster than the current-gen Tensor G4 processor inside of the Pixel 9 family of smartphones. The new Tensor G5 processor will be made on TSMC's new 3nm process node, shifting over from Samsung Foundry.

Google's new Tensor G5 processor has single-core and multi-core scores leaked from new Geekbench benchmarks, with 2276 points in single-core, and 6175 points in multi-core testing. This makes the new Tensor G5 up to 36% faster than the current Tensor G4, showing some impressive gains using TSMC's second-generation 3nm process node.

Google's new Pixel 10 Pro Fold smartphone is expected to roll out with the Tensor G5 processor, 16GB of RAM, and Android 16 out of the box. The Tensor G5 chip won't win any benchmark scores above some of the competition, but it will keep up with the smartphone experiences we can expect from Qualcomm's new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 processor, as well as the Dimensity 9500.
