The Pixel 9’s Tensor G4 chip shows promising AI capabilities but falls short in benchmarks compared to Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 from 2021.
Google’s Tensor G4 chip in the Pixel 9 series doesn’t deliver the top-of-the-line performance you would expect from a 2024 flagship. We’ve already seen this on the early benchmarks.
Now a new benchmark comparison reveals that the Tensor G4 struggles against both current and older flagship SoCs. It couldn’t even outperform the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, a chipset from 2021.
Independent reviewer Golden Reviewer compared the Tensor G4 to leading flagship chipsets in the demanding 3DMark Wild Life Extreme benchmark.
The results show the Tensor G4 edges out its predecessor, the Tensor G3, by just over 7%.
