Leak Says Google’s Tensor G6 Pairs New ARM C1 CPU With 2021 PowerVR GPU

If accurate, the choice signals a cost-saving tilt that could limit gaming gains on Pixel 11.

Overview

  • Multiple tech sites cite a Mystic Leaks Telegram post and a redacted screenshot, and Google has not confirmed the specs.
  • The chip is said to use one ARM C1 Ultra core at 4.11GHz, four C1 Pro cores at 3.38GHz, and two C1 Pro cores at 2.65GHz in a 1+4+2 layout.
  • Reports point to an Imagination PowerVR C‑Series CXTP‑48‑1536 GPU, a 2021 design seen as a likely sidegrade for graphics and gaming.
  • Coverage links the older GPU to a smaller chip area and lower manufacturing costs, with Google expected to lean on NPU-driven AI features over raw graphics.
  • The Pixel 11 line is still expected around August with the codenames Cubs, Grizzly, and Kodiak, and a Titan M3 security chip has also been rumored.
