Tensor G6 and G5 Still Lag in Efficiency Against Flagship Chips in First Tests
TL;DR
Geekerwan’s early efficiency tests of Google’s Tensor G6 (G6) and Tensor G5 (G5) on a 3nm process show both chips trail Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite and Apple’s A-series in performance-per-watt for CPU and GPU workloads, with Kirin 9030 Pro nearly matching them despite an older process. In Geekbench 6 CPU tests, the G6 peaks around 8,000 points at ~11W; the Steel Nomad Light GPU test shows ~1,200 points at ~6W. Overall, Tensor G6/G5 sit behind current flagship silicon in efficiency, though Kirin 9030 Pro remains a close competitor on power.
