Now, we get to see it in action once again, this time, alongside Google&#8217;s next-gen foldable, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/Google-Pixel-10-Pixel-10-Pro-Pixel-10-Pro-XL-and-Pixel-10-Pro-Fold-storage-variants-revealed-by-new-leak.1050807.0.html\" target=\"_self\" class=\"internal-link\" rel=\"noopener\">Pixel 10 Pro Fold<\/a>. &#13;<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">It scores 2,276 and 6,173 in <a href=\"https:\/\/browser.geekbench.com\/v6\/cpu\/12793905\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"external-link-new-window\" rel=\"noopener\">Geekbench&#8217;s single and multi-core tests<\/a>, respectively. Geekbench&#8217;s back-end reveals the chip is not throttling and can maintain a steady boost clock. While that is measurably better than its first set of scores (1,323\/4,004), it is remarkably behind the current-gen market leaders, such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/Qualcomm-Snapdragon-8-Elite-Processor-Benchmarks-and-Specs.908499.0.html\" target=\"_self\" class=\"internal-link\" rel=\"noopener\">Snapdragon 8 Elite<\/a> (3,070\/9,251) and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/Mediatek-Dimensity-9400-Processor-Benchmarks-and-Specs.921380.0.html\" target=\"_self\" class=\"internal-link\" rel=\"noopener\">Dimensity 9400<\/a> (2,597\/8,109). It is closer to the last-gen <a href=\"https:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/MediaTek-Dimensity-9300-Processor-Benchmarks-and-Specs.805596.0.html\" target=\"_self\" class=\"internal-link\" rel=\"noopener\">Dimensity 9300<\/a> (2,207\/7,408). &#13;<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">We also get a glimpse at the Tensor G5&#8217;s CPU layout, consisting of one Cortex-X4 prime core (3.78 GHz), five Cortex-A725 (3.05 GHz) performance cores and two Cortex-A520 efficiency cores (2.25 GHz). And we get a glimpse at its shiny new Imagination Technologies&#8217; PowerVR DXT-48-1536 GPU. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold in question has 16 GB of RAM and runs Android 16.&#13;<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\"> Realistically speaking, the Tensor G5 could never compete with current-gen behemoths, especially with older Arm cores. Nevertheless, the transition to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/Google-Tensor-G5-Pixel-10-series-SoC-allegedly-tapes-out-on-TSMC-s-3-nm-node.855455.0.html\" target=\"_self\" class=\"internal-link\" rel=\"noopener\">TSMC&#8217;s 3 nm<\/a> (or 5 nm, depending on who you ask) node might help with power efficiency.
