A device codenamed "Google Frankel" was recently spotted on GeekBench, which is believed to be powered by the new Tensor G5 chip.

Here's What We Know

This chipset is likely to be manufactured using TSMC's 3nm N3E process and will include one main Arm Cortex-X4 core, 5 high-performance Cortex-A725 cores and 2 power-efficient Arm Cortex-A520 cores.

Interestingly, the leak mentions using Power VR graphics rather than Imagination Technologies (IMG) DXT-48-1536, which could be an error. Either way, this is an early version of the chip and benchmark estimates may not reflect its final specifications.

TSMC is expected to take over production of the Tensor G5 and G6 chips, which could significantly improve their performance and power efficiency over previous models produced by Samsung.
