Alleged Tensor G5 Geekbench Scores Disappoint

A new Geekbench listing purportedly reveals the performance of Google's upcoming Tensor G5 chip, and the results are underwhelming, even compared to the already underperforming Tensor G4. The alleged Tensor G5, identified as "Google Frankel," features a configuration of two efficiency cores at 2.44 GHz, four cores at 2.86 GHz, and a prime core at 3.40 GHz. It scored 1323 in single-core and 4004 in multi-core tests. Chipset Single-Core Multi-Core Alleged Tensor G5 1323 4004 Tensor G4 (Pixel 9 Pro XL) 1950 4741 These scores are significantly lower than the Tensor G4's scores of 1950 (single-core) and 4741 (multi-core) on the Pixel 9 Pro XL ( buy on Amazon  ). This contradicts rumors of significant performance improvements for the Tensor G5, which is expected to be built on TSMC's N3E process, unlike its Samsung-manufactured predecessors. It's likely that this Geekbench listing represents a very early version of the Tensor G5 or is simply a fake. These scores are probably …
