Google Tensor G4 Pixel 9 Pro XL performance on Antutu

As we probably know, Google continues to rely on Samsung’s Exynos to build its SoCs for the Pixel phones that make so much noise. However, they always lag behind their Snapdragon competitors, which Google doesn’t like. For this reason, this new Tensor G4 will be the last one in the coalition with the Koreans, and for this reason Samsung wants to keep the flag high by giving this SoC the best it has at the moment. But,
How fast is this Tensor G4 on Antutu?

Can you compete with the best?

Antutu is not a benchmark that is available on the Play Store and hasn’t been for a long time, but they say “create fame and go to sleep.” In fact, it is still in use without being in the Google store because it is quite complete, and this time the Russians have exclusively compared the current Big G SoC with the new one.

Google Tensor G4 on Antutu, how much faster is it compared to the current G3?

It will arrive at different speeds to Google Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL, but the base is the same. Our colleagues at Rozetked did their best and, using the Pixel 9 Pro XL test unit they had, compared the results with the current Pixel 8 Pro.

The results were Pixel 8A has 877,443 points with him Tensioner G3 with coverwhile the Pixel 9 Pro XL, the maximum figure of this 2024 year-end, reached neither more nor less 1,176,410 points. Doing a quick calculation, we see that new Tensor G4 – 34.07% faster than the current SoCs from Google and Samsung, so that’s a really big difference that will now make them compete with the best, but not beat them. Compared to Tensioner G3 Pixel 8 Pro We are talking about 18% improvementwhich isn’t bad, but it’s not enough.

One thing to keep in mind is that, according to leaks, the Tensor G4 is quite different in core configuration from the Exynos 2400 on which it is based. Usage one Cortex-X4 with a frequency of 3.1 GHz, three Cortex-A720 with a frequency of 2.6 GHz and four Cortex-A520 with a frequency of 1.95 GHz.

Significant improvement, but not sufficient

This data makes us understand that Google has heavily touched Samsung’s SoC to adapt it to what it needs and that, on the other hand, it should perform a little better according to its specifications. Give the impression that Maintaining consumption and temperature has higher priority In a stalemate, Samsung’s main problem is with its SoC, compared to performance.

And if at the time of launch everything had ended with such ratings, we would have said that it would not be able to surpass
Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, A17 Pro or even Dimensity 9300. This would be more than a reason for Google to end its delay of this series of Samsung-based SoCs and finally launch in 2025 Tensioner G5 already completely our own design and from the ground up, which we hope will be able to compete with the best houses in the world. Pixel 10 Pro XL.

Meanwhile, this Tensor G4 under Antutu will be competitive and will certainly have a more than fast NPU, so Google will have to continue its path with Pixels, focusing on other points such as the camera or a fully optimized OS.
