Pixel 11 series: Tensor G6 adds 50 percent more TPU compute

Google has announced the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL, built around the Tensor G6 chip. Google states that Tensor G6 packs 50 percent more TPU compute and, paired with the latest Gemini Nano model, processes on-device AI tasks up to 3.5 times faster while using up to 3.5 times less energy.

The company also cites an upgraded CPU with 25 percent faster web browsing and 15 percent quicker app launches, and says the chip powers the 30x Super Zoom on the 5x telephoto lens. Google does not publish RAM figures, model sizes or per-task latency in the announcement.
