The topic Tensor G6 reportedly bringing latest ARM CPU cores but outdated GPU to Pixel 11<\/strong> is currently the subject of lively discussion \u2014 readers and analysts are keeping a close eye on developments.<\/p>\n

This is taking place in a dynamic environment: companies\u2019 decisions and competitors\u2019 reactions can quickly change the picture.<\/p>\n

An early, limited leak around Google\u2019s upcoming Pixel 11 series offers some limited details around the Tensor G6 chipset inside, with a mix of good news and bad news.<\/p>\n

Mystic Leaks today posted an addendum to the recent Pixel 11 Pro Fold wallpaper leak. The animated video variants we mentioned in our coverage are now available through this latest leak, which also reiterates those \u201cLunar Tides\u201d and \u201cTidal Swirl\u201d names.<\/p>\n

The leaker posted a strategically cut-off image that reveals a couple of key details about the Tensor G6 chipset in the Pixel 11 series.<\/p>\n

As far as the GPU goes, Tensor G6 isn\u2019t looking all that much better than Tensor G5, with an Imagination\/PowerVR C-Series CXTP-48-1536 GPU. This appeared in some previous leaks, and it doesn\u2019t appear on the company\u2019s website. The closest we could find was an outdated GPU that dates back to 2021. The \u201cP\u201d seems to be a newer variant, but if it\u2019s still based on an outdated setup, that\u2019s sure to rub enthusiasts the wrong way.<\/p>\n

While the specific core setup is obfuscated, Tensor G6 is apparently using at least one ARM C1 Ultra core at 4.11GHz, four C1-Pro cores at 3.38GHz, and two more C1-Pro cores at 2.65GHz. ARM introduced its C1 cores in the second half of 2025 and they\u2019re also used in MediaTek\u2019s Dimensity 9500 chipset.<\/p>\n

At this point they should just tier Google Silicon into a Tensor G6 for the Pixel 11 and a Tensor G6 Pro for the 11 Pro, with newer and more GPU cores. In the $799 Pixel 11, the Tensor G6 as it is right now will get a passing grade, but def not on the Pros.<\/p>\n

Tensor G5 is built on a 1+5+2 setup, using Cortex-X4, Cortex-A725, and Cortex-A520. So, just looking at the CPU cores themselves, Tensor G6 is potentially off to a great start. The C1-Pro cores are more powerful than the A725 cores, and even the lower-clocked cores will provide more power than the A520 (which are comparable to C1-Nano cores that Google is not using). Prior reporting (from before ARM introduced new branding) suggested a 1+6 setup, which would point to Google using just one C1-Ultra core. That report had also mentioned better power efficiency from the GPU.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll have to wait for more details to come in, of course, especially as there\u2019s information in the screenshot that\u2019s redacted. The post does mention the \u201cCubs,\u201d \u201cGrizzly,\u201d and \u201cKodiak\u201d codenames of the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, and Pixel 11 Pro XL, respectively.<\/p>\n
