ⓘ Vaidyanathan Subramaniam, NotebookcheckTensor G5 and G6 trail rivals on performance per watt, testing shows (Pixel 10 pictured)Geekerwan's first efficiency test of the Tensor G6 and G5 shows that both trail the Snapdragon 8 Elite and Apple's A-series chips in CPU and GPU performance per watt, while the Kirin 9030 Pro matches the Tensor chips despite being manufactured on a much older process node. On the CPU curve, the Tensor G6 tracks closely with the Tensor G5, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, and Kirin 9030 Pro throughout the low-to-mid power range, topping out at roughly 8,000 points near 11W.
