The Pixel 9 Already Has a Big Problem, and It’s Not on Sale Yet

Last Tuesday, the 13th, Google announced its new Pixel 9 lineup with some very interesting models. Changes are present in almost all important sections, the most relevant being aesthetic, photographic and, unfortunately, economic. In addition, the new series has updated CPUwhich again produces the big G and which is the culprit of the first complaints about the devices.

And even though the Pixel 9 has been announced for a few days now, it won’t go on sale until August 22, so for now can only be reserved. Of course, it looks like there are already users who have access to the device and are running tests with it.

In fact, they not only test it, but also publish details on their social media showing how the device will behave. And that’s exactly what the user did. @callmeshazzam on X (Twitter). What did you post? simple
— but indicative — screenshot performance Pixel 9 Pro XL.

Here’s How Tensor G4 Performs on the Pixel 9

The published image shows a graph showing the behavior Google Tensor G4 on Pixel 9 Pro XL. This is a test to check how does the chip control strangled or strangulation due to temperature. This parameter is of primary importance, as it determines how long the device can operate at maximum performance.

In the case of the Pixel 9, we see a problem of great importancebecause after about two minutes at maximum performance level the chip falls by more than 60%. What does this mean? That the device itself self-limiting by reducing processor speed so that the terminal temperature does not rise.

Then, after a minute at the 40-50% mark, It is growing again and showing some stability around 65-70%. This doesn’t mean that the Tensor G4 isn’t capable of running at 100% all the time, far from it, but it can cause thermal issues, so it manages itself in a way that makes the experience satisfactory in that regard.

That’s why this test doesn’t show poor performance of Pixel 9 – also does not exclude – but the problem is with cooling devices. Having a cooler processor allows strangled smaller, so the chip’s capabilities can be maintain stability at a higher level and not to suggest such sharp falls.

Google can still fix this

The good news is that Google can still get its hands on please update to fix thisOtherwise, the company could adjust the algorithms that determine self-restraint and offer a more stable and prolonged decline over time. It may be necessary to raise the temperature of the device by several degrees, which may cause discomfort or go unnoticed by the end user.

It is necessary to take a filtered capture from cautionSince it is not known what version of software is installed on the Pixel 9 Pro XL and whether Google is testing it before the official launch, we will have to wait a few days until Google starts selling its new phones and customer tests appear.
