Google Tests Tensor G7 With LPDDR6 for Pixel 12 as Pro Models May Get 96-bit Boost

3 articles · Updated · Wccftech · Jul 9

Summary

  • Google is reportedly testing Tensor G7 with both LPDDR5X and LPDDR6 memory configurations for the Pixel 12, with the faster standard potentially reserved for higher-end Pro models.
  • LPDDR6 could lift on-device AI performance by increasing memory bandwidth and possibly moving Tensor G7 to a 96-bit bus, easing latency between the chip and RAM.
  • The rumor also points to possible packaging changes to improve thermals, a key issue if Google pairs faster memory with heavier AI workloads.
  • The claim remains tentative — rated 55% plausible in the report — and rising DRAM costs could still push Google to drop LPDDR6 before launch.
