I new my pixel 6 pro felt faster than pixel 7 in every way, p6p even finishes bench marks faster to and less heating, did I do a down grade or what lol
It's just a GPU compute benchmark, stuff that does not really matter that much in day to day use or in games. GPU in Tensor G2 has less cores, but they are good amount more capable for raster rendering, so the whole GPU shouldn't be worse for 3D rendering, from what I know.
I agree with xenotium. SOC's today are so fast and specialized that even the mid-level ones can do most of the work most people need done. Benchmarks just don't mean much for average everyday use.
