Google Tensor G4 vs Apple A19

Last updated:
The Google Tensor G4 and Apple A19 are state-of-the-art System-on-Chips (SoCs) for premium smartphones, not for desktops.

The Google Tensor G4 (codename G4) is manufactured using ARM's 4 nm process and is Google's chip for future Pixel devices, focusing on AI applications. The Apple A19 is manufactured using Apple's even more advanced 3 nm process and is intended for future iPhones, known for its high CPU and GPU performance.

In terms of performance, the Apple A19 shows significantly higher single-core and multi-core performance, exceeding the Google Tensor G4 by over 10 percent in benchmarks. This makes the Apple A19 more powerful for demanding computing tasks. In the gaming sector, too, the Apple A19, with its Apple A19 (5 GPU Cores) and a memory bandwidth of 68 GB/s, is superior to the Google Tensor G4 with its ARM Immortalis-G715 MP10 and 51 GB/s.

The 3 nm manufacturing process of the Apple A19 also promises higher energy efficiency than the 4 nm process of the Google Tensor G4, which can contribute to better battery life. Specific TDP values or separate market prices are not available for these integrated SoCs.

For users who value deep integration with Google's AI services and specific software features, the Google Tensor G4 is suitable. However, for those seeking maximum raw performance for demanding apps and games, the Apple A19 is the superior option.
