The Google Pixel 9 was launched recently in India. It comes with Google’s Custom Tensor G4 chipset with Octa-core (1×3.1 GHz Cortex-X4 & 3×2.6 GHz Cortex-A720 & 4×1.92 GHz Cortex-A520) CPU. While the chipset and CPU are primarily designed for AI tasks, they are not as fast as other processors, such as Qualcomm’s Snapdragon. The chipset performs smoothly in daily tasks such as scrolling Instagram, watching videos on YouTube, and playing games. However, let’s find out the gaming test results and CPU benchmark score.
Google Pixel 9 Gaming Test Results
Meanwhile, the Pixel 9 is not targeted for gaming, while the popular games like Genshin Impact, Call of Duty, or BGMI India have some good, lag-free performance, but you will notice frame rate drops and gets heat up fast. Meanwhile, you don’t get the gaming experience like the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC.
- Genshin Impact: at high graphic settings, the Pixel 9 delivers smooth performance with sharp graphics at 60 fps.
- Call of Duty: The Pixel 9 stuck at 60 FPS, whereas the Pixel Pro and XL get up to 120 FPS.
- BFMI India: The Pixel 9 performs extremely well with low graphic settings.
In terms of battery backup while playing games, the Pixel 9 features a 4,700mAh battery capacity that provides 5-6 hours of screen time, and it comes with 27W wired charging support, which charges 100% in 1 hour and 27 minutes.
Google Pixel 9 CPU Benchmark score
A benchmark is a test that gives a score based on performance so that users can compare the results to other similar devices, as the Pixel 9 is powered by a Tensor G4 chipset with an octa-core (cortex-X4 3.1GHz) CPU and uses a Mali-G715 MC7 GPU. It runs on the Android V14 operating system.
- AnTuTu Benchmark Score: The Pixel 9 achieved a 358,988 CPU score, and overall performance has scored 1,284,962. It comes in above-group average phones.
- Geekbench: The phone scored 4,545 as multi-core and 1,711 as multi-core, and it falls into the average group of phones in terms of performance.

Overall, the Pixel 9 did not score well in the performance department as it comes in a high-budget phone, so if you want a phone with performance, then you can choose devices that come with Snapdragon 8 gen 3. However, if you want a phone for daily normal use with good AI features, then the Pixel is best for you.
