The Google Pixel 9 Pro XL’s Tensor G4 chip faces serious performance issues due to excessive throttling, loses over 50% performance in mins.
Google‘s custom silicon efforts have faced consistent critiques regarding thermal management and sustained performance. Now, early reports suggest the Pixel 9 Pro XL’s Tensor G4 might be particularly susceptible to this issue.
A user on X, @callmeshazzam, shared concerning findings from a CPU throttling test on their pre-ordered Pixel 9 Pro XL. The benchmark shows the Tensor G4 loses up to 50% of its processing power under extended load.
The stress test tracks the frequency of all eight CPU cores within the Tensor G4.
