Google recently took the lid off the much-awaited Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. The two new Pixel 6 models brought a new design, new cameras, and more importantly a new custom chip that developed in-house. And while Google claimed that its new Tensor chip was 80 percent faster than the Snapdragon 765G on the Pixel 5, no official benchmarks were provided.

However, a Reddit user named grt3 (First spotted by 91mobiles) received his Pixel 6 early and decided to run GPU benchmarks on the device after several users requested it. To check the capability of the Tensor’s GPU, Greg ran 3DMark Wild Life, Wild Life Extreme, and Wild Life Stress tests.
