Google Tensor G5 in the Google Pixel 10 XL scored 2,296 in single-core [Geekbench 6] tests, with the multicore score coming in at 6,203 points.
Solid ST score all in all, roughly comparable with a Ryzen 5800X from ~5 years ago. Although I suspect the Pixel 10 won't be able to sustain ST throughput for as long as a 5800X, but that's to be expected when comparing a smartphone CPU and a desktop CPU.
IMO MT isn't all that important for smartphones.
Which in turn trails the latest Apple A-series chips. Because Qualcomm had to compete. Apple doesn’t.
Then you have Samsung’s NVMe SSDs. They’re in iPhones and gaming PCs. Android phones use slower UFS. Slower in benchmarks. Equivalent in real world performance. And cheaper.
My main phone is an iPhone 16 Pro Max. Best Apple has to offer right now.
I also have a Galaxy S10 from 2019. It was weaker than the same year iPhone at launch. Now it’s five years behind my iPhone.
The iPhone might boot a second or two faster, but it’s very close.
Guess which one kicks the other’s ass when it comes to typing. I don’t know why Apple can’t figure this out. If I’m gonna be doing much typing, I will turn on the S10 and wait. It’s worth it.
Also literally everything you like about Android. Of course I have Nova Prime on it.
I like Apple stuff, especially Macs, but like Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak said, I like my iPhone, I just wish it did half the stuff my Android phone does. I see advantages with both.
I wouldn’t worry about this Tensor chip. I’m sure it’s fine. But I think we should all stop upgrading every year or two. I think after 4-5 years with these two, I’ll retire the S10 and get a Pixel. Then after another 4-5 years upgrade the iPhone. Because I have use for both platforms. And I think Pixel phones are just fine.
