Google Tensor G6

The processor Google introduced for the Pixel 11 series.

Google says the Tensor G6 CPU is 25% faster at web browsing and 15% quicker at launching apps than the Tensor G5. TPU compute for AI work is up 50%. Google bases these comparisons on internal data from pre-production devices.

Google says the chip works with the Titan M3 security chip and brings post-quantum cryptography to secure boot.

A chip name alone does not describe a phone's sustained performance. Independent tests measure that per device.
