Ahead of the official announcement, the Pixel 8 Pro has now been spotted on Geekbench with the Tensor G3 chip and the benchmarking scores are not as great as expected.
The listing reveals the RAM specifications of the device.
Google’s Tensor chipsets play an important part in image processing, these processors are well know in machine learning to produce Pixelesque images.
Google Pixel 8 Pro was spotted on Geekbench, with the new Tensor G3 processor.
Benchmarks suggests that Tensor G3 is a nine-core processor with three different clusters.
The first cluster contains four cores clocked at 1.7 GHz, the second cluster has four cores clocked at 2.37 GHz, along with a single core clocked at 2.91 GHz.
The Tensor G3 chipset will be clocked at a base frequency of 1.7 GHz.
Pixel 8 Pro was tested on Geekbench 6.2, with a single-core score of 1,760, and a multi-core score of 4,442.
The scores seem to be neither too good nor too bad.
