We already know the Pixel 6 is going to be a watershed unit for Google.
The company alreadyconfirmedthe unit, including the fact that its using its own custom processor dubbed Google Tensor.
But what we didnt know was just how different it would be from anything else.
Current flagship Android processors like the Exynos 2100 and Snapdragon 888 use three types of cores.
According to XDA the Pixel 6 Pro will instead havetwoCortex X1 cores.
Suffice to say theres no other Android phone with that configuration.
It means the rig should be able to absolutely blaze through tasks that require high clock speeds.

I really have no clue.
Still, its weird since these cores will presumably handle a lot of your everyday workload.
Somewhere along the way, Google must have figured the trade-offs were worth it.
Stranger yet… the supposed benchmarks that have leaked onGeekbenchso far are not great.
It scores around 2,000, when a Snapdragon 888 scores closer to 3,500.
Heck, The Pixel 4 scores around 2,300.
So I can only imagine that either theres something iffy with that Geekbench result.
Except there shouldnt be.
So it seems highly unlikely the benchmark would be falsified.
Instead, it seems the tested rig, for some reason, was not optimized for maximum performance.
But wait, theres more!
Except for the fact it seems to make no sense.
So really, we dont know whats going on.
