Google Tensor G5 shows strong Geekbench gains but trails Snapdragon flagship

Leaked Geekbench 6 scores for the Google Tensor G5 in the Pixel 10 XL show notable gains over the Pixel 9 Pro but still fall short of the Snapdragon 8 Elite. The leak, posted to Reddit, includes single-core and multicore figures used to compare the new chip to its predecessor and to the Samsung flagship.

The Google Pixel 10 has been officially announced with the Google Tensor G5 system on chip and 16 GB of ram, but independent benchmarks have not yet been widely published. A leaked Geekbench 6 result posted to Reddit shows the Tensor G5 inside a Pixel 10 XL scoring 2,296 points in single-core and 6,203 points in multicore tests. The disclosure provides one of the first numerical snapshots of the new chip´s raw cpu performance ahead of wider testing.

For context, the Geekbench 6 charts list the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite at 2,867 single-core and 9,491 multicore. The Pixel 9 Pro recorded 1,876 single-core and 4,337 multicore in the same benchmark. The leaked numbers put the Tensor G5 about 22% ahead of the Pixel 9 Pro in single-core terms, yet roughly 20% behind the Snapdragon 8 Elite on single-core performance. On multicore workloads the gap widens, with the Tensor G5 around 35% slower than the Snapdragon 8 Elite while being about 43% faster than the Tensor G4 that preceded it.

Google Tensor chips have not historically prioritized raw benchmark supremacy, but the leaked scores suggest Google focused on meaningful generational gains for the Tensor G5. The article notes that more independent testing and full reviews are expected later this month, around the phone´s retail availability, which should reveal whether the synthethic improvements translate into real-world performance differences. The leak offers an early directional comparison but is not a substitute for broader, verified benchmarks and hands-on reviews.
