In recent months, Google has improved significantly The graphic performance of its Pixel smartphones, without openly announced it. Tensor chips have never shone for their performance, but thanks to targeted software updates, things are changing. A pixel today is really more powerful than it was purchased: let’s see why!
The merit is mainly of the New GPU drivers included in the recent Update of Android, who have brought concrete improvements in the heaviest games and apps.
THE Test results leave no doubt: the scores of Geekbench 6 GPU They grew up double -digit throughout the Pixel line.
- Pixel 7a: +62%
- Pixel 8: +31%
- Pixel 9: +32%
- Pixel 6a (with Android 15): +23%
All this translates into an experience of use certainly better, especially in gaming. In games like Genshin Impactyou go from 20-25 fps to over 45 fps on Pixel 8. And the difference can also be felt in the apps that exploit Machine Learning and 3D graphics.
The key lies precisely in the Driver for the Arm Mali GPUs. Google has chosen an uncommon approach: continue to update them even after the launch, unlike almost all other producers.
And the good news is that these updates involve All Tensor chipsfrom the first generation to the G4, and arrive on time in the Floor Feature Finding Timestens or with the new Android releases.
It is clear that pxiels have not magically become gaming phone, the latest generation Snapdragon certainly do better, but thanks to this software work The gap is shortening. We hope that Google wants to make an extra effort even hardware side, but there may be good news in this sense.
We just have to wait and hope, happy that the previous models have not been left in the least behind. We often focus on years of updating the operating system As the only judgment metric, but also aspects like this are certainly important.
