Editor's Pick: The Pixel 10 series brings a massive upgrade over previous Pixels — the in-house Tensor SoC has moved from Samsung to TSMC, and now uses the cutting-edge 3nm process, putting it in the same generation as the Snapdragon 8E and Dimensity 9400+. So, will the Tensor G5 in the Pixel 10 series deliver a performance leap? Take a look at the table below, and you'll see that things aren't that simple.

Specifications	Tensor G5	Tensor G4
CPU	1 × Cortex-X4 (3.78GHz); 5 × Cortex-A720 (3.05GHz); 2 × Cortex-A520 (2.25GHz)	1 × Cortex-X4 (3.1GHz); 3 × Cortex-A720 (2.6GHz); 4 × Cortex-A520 (1.92GHz)
GPU	PowerVR DXT-48-1536	Mali-G715 (940MHz)
RAM	LPDDR5X	LPDDR5X
AI Unit	4th Gen Tensor Processing Unit (TPU)	3rd Gen Tensor Processing Unit (TPU)
Process Node	3nm (TSMC N3P)	4nm (Samsung)

Thanks to the process upgrade, which boosts clock speeds, and the increase from 3 to 5 mid-cores, the G5 theoretically offers a 34% improvement in multi-core performance over the G4 — a significant jump. But as we all know, when the starting point is low, the progress looks more dramatic. In practice, the Snapdragon 8E in the Samsung S25 Ultra, which is often criticized for poor heat dissipation, still scores more than double the G5's performance in benchmarks and gaming.

So, what makes the Pixel stand out? 7 years of system updates are a Google tradition, and the improved AI and TPU performance take computational photography to the next level. You can use Google Lens on anything unknown, and the built-in Gemini will reveal its secrets. With the large model and TPU processing power, digital zoom can produce clearer, more detailed telephoto shots. As long as you're not a gamer, you can trust the Pixel 10 series for everyday smoothness and camera quality.
