Google’s mysterious engineering machine has appeared on Geekbench, powered by a Tensor G4 chip, a Google device codenamed “Google Tokay” has appeared in the Geekbench database, but it is not sure which phone “Tokay” is, it may be Pixel 9, 9 Pro or Pixel Fold 2.
According to the data, the chip contains a 3.1GHz Cortex-X4 / X5 super-core, three Cortex-A7xx cores with a 2.6GHz frequency, and four Cortex-A5xx cores with a 1.95GHz frequency. Equipped with an Arm Mali G715 GPU, this engineering machine comes with just 8GB of RAM.
According to IT House, Google has been testing the Pixel Fold 2 internally for the past few months, and this folding screen prototype is equipped with a Tensor G3 chip code-named “zuma”, but the most recent prototype is replaced with a Tensor G4 chip code-named “zumapro”.
It was also previously announced that the Tensor G4 will be built on the Samsung 4LPP+ node, the same as the Exynos 2400 node, but the Exynos 2400 will have a 10-core configuration (1x X4 + 2x A720 + 3x A720 + 4x A520).
Sources say the Pixel Fold 2 is currently in the early stages of the Engineering Proof Test (EVT) phase and is several iterations away from mass production (MP). The typical development process is Prototype > EVT > DVT > PVT > MP, so given the current stage, a launch at Google I/O 2024 in May seems unlikely.
