Google Tensor G5 vs Apple A19 Pro
Across 12 measured categories, the Apple A19 Pro comes out ahead.
I put the Google Tensor G5 and the Apple A19 Pro side by side to see how they really compare. On graphics, the Google Tensor G5 runs the PowerVR DXT-48-1536 while the Apple A19 Pro runs the Apple A19 pro (6-core GPU). Below I go through the CPU, GPU, memory and connectivity, then the benchmark scores, so you can work out which one is the better fit for you.
