Default Google Pixel 11’s Tensor G6 might be a downgrade, but could also fix some b
  • Google’s previous “Tensor based Pixel programs have not met its financial targets.”
  • Google Tensor G6 is primarily focused on reducing the price of the chip, as well as making it run cooler and more efficiently.
  • The GPU will lose its ray-tracing abilities, while the CPU gets a slight upgrade.
Google’s Tensor chips have failed to impress performance enthusiasts. Even after four generations, the chips aren’t quite what many had hoped they could be (check out our in-depth Tensor G4 testing for the full picture) and remain a hot topic of discussion in the community. In our previous reporting, we’ve shown how the next-gen Tensor G5 promises to deliver improvements in power efficiency and thermals thanks to the superior TSMC manufacturing process, but its specs still leave a lot to be desired compared to the competition.

Unfortunately, that seems likely to remain the case for at least one more generation, as the Tensor G6, due to be released with the Pixel 11, will bring rather small upgrades. It might even be a downgrade in some areas, but that’s actually for a good reason.
