Google has officially announced that the Pixel 9 series and Pixel Watch 3 will be unveiled on August 13, earlier than their traditional October release date. This year's event will take place at Google's headquarters in Mountain View, California, marking a departure from the usual New York City venue. Typically, Google hosts its annual Pixel launch event in October, but this year, the company has taken a turn and announced a surprise Pixel event scheduled for August 13, almost two months ahead of the usual timeline.

Made By Google 2024 Event Time And Date

This year's iteration of Made by Google event is scheduled for August 13, 2024, at 10:00 AM PT or 10:30 PM IST. The event, to be hosted at Googleplex in Mountain View, California, will be available for streaming on the Google Store page and Google’s YouTube channel. 

While the tech giant hasn't specifically mentioned any devices in it, but the invite read: "You're invited to an in-person Made by Google event where we'll showcase the best of Google AI, Android software and the Pixel portfolio of devices".

This year's Google event is scheduled earlier than last year's, perhaps to get ahead of Apple's annual September event. Google might be aiming to capture attention with its new Pixel devices and Gemini AI features before Apple introduces its latest iPhones and the stable iOS 18 with Apple Intelligence.

Meanwhile, the leaked Pixel 9, 9 Pro, and 9 Pro XL were recently tested with early benchmarks. According to benchmark results from Rozetked, the Tensor G4 has a 1+3+4 core setup, with the Cortex-X4 as the main core. It also includes three Cortex-A720 cores and four smaller Cortex-A520 cores. In comparison, the original Tensor and Tensor G2 had a 2+2+4 core setup, while the Tensor G3 used a 1+4+4 configuration. Here's a comparison of these setups:

The Cortex-X4, also used by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, is claimed by Arm to be 15 per cent faster and 40 per cent more power-efficient than the previous version. The Cortex-A720 offers a 20 per cent increase in power efficiency compared to its predecessor, and the Cortex-A520 shows a 22 per cent improvement.

It is important to remember that these devices are not running final software, and there are still months of optimisation and tuning ahead. Even with these early benchmarks, some performance improvements can already be seen. The Pixel 8 is included in the benchmarks for comparison, further highlighting the significant improvements in the Pixel 9 series over its predecessor. These early results suggest promising enhancements for users eagerly anticipating the new models.
