Google typically announces its Pixel lineup in August, and the Pixel 11 series is shaping up to follow that same pattern. CAD renders of the full lineup have already made the rounds, and now a leaked screenshot is filling in some of the chipset details.
The Tensor G6 is moving away from the CPU core arrangement used in the G5. According to the leak, it’ll run a 7-core setup built entirely on ARM’s C1 architecture — one C1 Ultra core at 4.11GHz, four C1 Pro cores at 3.38GHz, and two more C1 Pro cores clocked at 2.65GHz. That’s a meaningful step up from what the G5 offered across all three tiers.
The GPU side is a different story. The same screenshot points to a PowerVR C-Series CXTP-48-1536, which has been around for a few years at this point. Google may be running a newer variant of it — that’s possible — but anyone hoping the Pixel 11 becomes a serious gaming phone probably shouldn’t hold their breath.
The leak also confirmed the internal codenames: Cubs for the standard Pixel 11, Grizzly for the Pro, and Kodiak for the Pro XL.
One more thing worth mentioning — a separate leak from earlier this year suggested the Tensor G6 would also bring a new Titan M3 security chip. That hasn’t been confirmed yet, but it lines up with Google’s pattern of pairing each new Tensor generation with an updated security processor.
