With its next-generation flagships Pixel 11 and Pixel 11 Pro, Google seems to have decided to abandon the path followed by its performance-oriented competitors and follow a different strategy. According to the latest leaks, with the Tensor G6 processor that will be included in the Pixel 11 series, the devices will focus on increasing battery life and reducing heating problems rather than high performance increases. Here are the details

New strategy on Google Pixel 11 and Pixel 11 Pro: May sacrifice performance for longer battery life and better heat management

In fact, Google’s Pixel lineup has long been characterized by innovative features without joining the performance race, a strategy that has Google focusing more on other features than performance. The new Tensor G6 processor is said to be manufactured in a smaller structure with TSMC’s 3nm N3P manufacturing technology.

Thanks to this architecture, the device is expected to consume less energy and therefore offer longer battery life. The Tensor G6 is planned to adopt a two-cluster structure with six ARM Cortex-X730 cores and one Cortex-X930 prime core, abandoning the triple-cluster system in the current processor architecture.

While this arrangement will sacrifice some performance, it will largely solve the device’s heating problem while maintaining smoothness in everyday use. On the graphics side, Google is rumored to integrate the 3-core IMG CXT GPU planned for the Tensor G4 into the Tensor G6. This GPU will provide lower power consumption and better heat dissipation.

With this choice, we can say that Google aims to provide a comfortable experience even during prolonged use by preventing the device from overheating. It is also expected to reduce the overall power consumption of the device thanks to less system cache usage, which will be a big advantage in terms of battery life.
