One of the first rumors about the Tensor G2, the new chipset that will power the Pixel 7 series, revealed that the chip will keep the X1, A76 and A55 CPU cores (in a 2 + 2 + 4 configuration) like the original. Now developer Kuba Wojciechowski gives more credit to this claim by examining the details of a Geekbench result and other clues.

Same Cortex-X1 core as before (note: 3396 decimal = 0xD44 hex)

The Tensor G2 will reportedly be manufactured in Samsung’s 4nm process (the original chip came from Samsung’s 5nm foundries), which allowed for slight increases in CPU clock speeds. The two Cortex-X1 cores have the increased limit of 50 MHz to 2.85 GHz (although this peak is likely to be reached with only one active X1), the two Cortex-A76 cores achieved a greater increase of 100 MHz at 2.35 GHz, based on Geekbench data.

Yes, the G2 still uses the A76 cores, even though they were two generations before the release of the original Tensor (they have been replaced by the A77 and A78). And that’s not counting the new ARMv9 cores, which have replacements for all three cores: X3, A715, and an updated A510.
