The Google Pixel 6 Pro has appeared again on Geekbench as it edges ever nearer to its expected release. Its Google Tensor SoC has performed much better than its last outing, with a single-core score not far behind the Exynos 2100 and Snapdragon 888.

A suspected Google Pixel 6 Pro has made its way to Geekbench again, just under three weeks after two listings appeared on the website. While the new listing does not provide any new information about the Pixel 6 Pro and its Google Tensor SoC, the details shown match with what Mishaal Rahman has leaked previously.

Specifically, Geekbench reports that the device has three CPU clusters, 4+2+2, running at 1.8 GHz, 2.25 GHz and 2.8 GHz, respectively. Supposedly, the slowest cores are ARM Cortex-A55 ones, followed by two Cortex-A76 cores and two Cortex-X1 cores. Additionally, Geekbench reports that the Pixel 6 Pro has 12 GB of RAM, reputedly LPDDR5 rather than LPDDR4x.

Moreover, the Google Tensor is much closer to the Exynos 2100 and Snapdragon 888 in performance than it was previously. Now, Google Tensor is within 3% of the Exynos 2100 in Geekbench 5.4.1 and 8% shy of the Snapdragon 888.

Multi-core performance is a different story though, with a 23% and 31% gap to the Exynos 2100 and Snapdragon 888, respectively. It is worth stressing that the Pixel 6 Pro will be running pre-release software, so we would expect a further performance uplift from these results, too.
