Leak Points to Tensor G6 Using New ARM C1 CPUs and a 2021 PowerVR GPU

The claimed mix signals a design trade-off that favors CPU gains over graphics.

Overview

  • A Mystic Leaks post, cited by 9to5Google, Wccftech, and GSMArena, outlines Tensor G6 specs that remain unverified by Google.
  • The CPU setup reportedly features one ARM C1 Ultra core at 4.11GHz plus six C1 Pro cores at 3.38GHz and 2.65GHz, marking a shift to ARM’s C1 family introduced in 2025 and used by other chipmakers.
  • The graphics unit is described as an Imagination/PowerVR C-Series CXTP-48-1536 that first appeared in 2021, which outlets say could limit gaming performance compared with newer rivals.
  • Reporting points to a 7-core layout in a 1+4+2 arrangement, which would be a change from the prior octa-core design.
  • The leak also mentions a Titan M3 security coprocessor and lists codenames for Pixel 11 models as Cubs, Grizzly, and Kodiak.
