Pixel 11 Pro XL Leak Shows 20% Geekbench Gain Ahead of August 20 Release

3 articles · Updated · PC Guide - For The Latest PC Hardware & Tech News · Aug 17

Summary

  • Geekbench results posted days before launch show the Pixel 11 Pro XL scoring 2,293 single-core and 7,108 multi-core, up 14% and 20% from the Pixel 10 Pro XL.
  • Tensor G6 appears to be driving that uplift, with the new flagship also adding a Titan M3 security co-processor; the non-XL Pixel 11 Pro should deliver similar performance because it shares the same core hardware.
  • Samsung’s Galaxy S26 Ultra still leads comfortably, with benchmark scores of 3,082 and 10,381—about 34% and 46% higher than the leaked Pixel 11 Pro XL results.
  • Google opened Pixel 11 pre-orders on August 12, and the lineup is set for wide availability on August 20, when fuller battery, durability and real-world performance tests are expected.
