if Google can fix the problem with older IMG PowerVR BXM GPUs lacks optimization in vulkan, after the final launch product of the new Pixel 10 with IMG DXT GPU on G5 SoC, launced in Android 16.

Then it could be an interesting to test Pixel 10 out with modern game uses Vulkan (3DMark Wild Life, Warzone Mobile, Asphalt Legends Unite) and Compute GPU that uses OpenCL/Vulkan (Geekbench 6).

And there's opportunity to make PowerVR GPU could do well after Android 16 launch on the other SoCs (D7020/D7025)

    403 Forbidden, 10 hours agoThis. Google never focuses on performance racing since the ... moreYup, that is what I also said a few times on this site. Either TSMC or Samsung, Either the Exynos-based Tensor, Snapdragon, or this upcoming Tensor, Google has and always never known for performance on their devices, at least in the Pixel era since 2016. It baffles me sometimes why some people want an absolute performance from Google when it's not their focus and forte. ISP is the one that I know that Google always focuses on the most.

    I don't know if most commentators, antis, fans, or anyone in the tech communities that are active in the last 2 years in this site were presence during Google Pixel's era with Snapdragon or not, but even during the "perfect" combination tech of Google Pixel that tech nerds need and want, the 2019 Google Pixel 4 series with Snapdragon 855 and TSMC-fab 7nm processor that this site out loud wanting to be returned and ditch their Tensor right away, Google Pixel 4 flagship series lagged than the other Snapdragon 855 peers in raw performance and benchmark, and let alone older Pixel with Snapdragon that was nerfed by Google on its clockspeed, so I think this should be wake-up call for the tech nerds to put the performance-focus on Pixel to eternal rest. Efficiency, Modem, and ISP though? Definitively to be highlighted

      I expect it at least beat D8400 or SD 7+ gen 3
      So at least it be best at middle class performance with the price they ask for the phone.

      SD 8s is already light flagship like standard iPhone while that type of performance there is not much hope to get from Tensor G5

        Tensor g5 will thrash the qualcomm 8g1.

            wow..i thought imagination have been taken over by some chinese firm? so they did survive😂 but their ip design is still relevan? still competitive to new oryon design from qualcomn and apple a series? rhats debatable...

              Their weakest part is not speed or battery efficiency, it's throttling.

                Hopefully this year it'll only be 2 years behind snapdragon not 3!

                  Apartently the G5 is expected to be excellent, but G6 will nerf the GPU HARD, giving the G7 the same GPU like the G5.

                    I don't care about the performance. Just give me very efficient processor Google

                        Upcoming 7g4 would be better choice
