An early, limited leak around Google’s upcoming Pixel 11 series offers some limited details around the Tensor G6 chipset inside, with a mix of good news and bad news.

Mystic Leaks today posted an addendum to the recent Pixel 11 Pro Fold wallpaper leak. The animated video variants we mentioned in our coverage are now available through this latest leak, which also reiterates those “Lunar Tides” and “Tidal Swirl” names.

But the comments reveal some far more tantalizing details.

The leaker posted a strategically cut-off image that reveals a couple of key details about the Tensor G6 chipset in the Pixel 11 series.

As far as the GPU goes, Tensor G6 isn’t looking all that much better than Tensor G5, with an Imagination/PowerVR C-Series CXTP-48-1536 GPU. This appeared in some previous leaks, and it doesn’t appear on the company’s website. The closest we could find was an outdated GPU that dates back to 2021. The “P” seems to be a newer variant, but if it’s still based on an outdated setup, that’s sure to rub enthusiasts the wrong way.

That said, the CPU upgrades look promising.

While the specific core setup is obfuscated, Tensor G6 is apparently using at least one ARM C1 Ultra core at 4.11GHz, four C1-Pro cores at 3.38GHz, and two more C1-Pro cores at 2.65GHz. ARM introduced its C1 cores in the second half of 2025 and they’re also used in MediaTek’s Dimensity 9500 chipset.

Tensor G5 is built on a 1+5+2 setup, using Cortex-X4, Cortex-A725, and Cortex-A520. So, just looking at the CPU cores themselves, Tensor G6 is potentially off to a great start. The C1-Pro cores are more powerful than the A725 cores, and even the lower-clocked cores will provide more power than the A520 (which are comparable to C1-Nano cores that Google is not using). Prior reporting (from before ARM introduced new branding) suggested a 1+6 setup, which would point to Google using just one C1-Ultra core. That report had also mentioned better power efficiency from the GPU.

We’ll have to wait for more details to come in, of course, especially as there’s information in the screenshot that’s redacted. The post does mention the “Cubs,” “Grizzly,” and “Kodiak” codenames of the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, and Pixel 11 Pro XL, respectively.
