tmay you are correct, but it seems there was a previous test that scored 2413 on a single core, if you look at the pictures shared by her. We will have to wait for more thorough testing to confirm everything.
That's more than a "nice bump", that's laptop speed, current laptop speed, in a phone! The A9X will be a ridiculous speed for such a compact device. This is higher than expected for the Iphone.
Wow... that is NOT how to read benchmarks.
On the Mac page:
Geekbench 3 scores are calculated against a baseline score of 2500. This baseline score represents the performance of an Intel Core i5-2520M @ 2.50 GHz.
The i5-2520M is a 4 year old laptop part. It's performance is in the same neighborhood as a 7 year old desktop CPU. That 2500 score is against a SINGLE CORE.
If you scale the A9's CPU performance it's right where it should be given the die shrink.
Pretty good? That's on par with the rMB. The iPad Pro is going to be a performance beast.
Intel must be crapping in their hermetically sealed bee suits. I guess their only consolation is that Apple will never provide A-series chips to other manufacturers, but that's not saying much.
Once the review embargo gets lifted tonight, more performance details will be unveiled. Looking forward to read chip teardown by anandtech.
And the subsequent bashing by trolls in the comment section.
Such a shame to write an in-depth article discussing technology only to have a legion of idiots respond and destroy the ability to have a civil discussion. Same thing happens at Toms and site owners don't seem to want to do anything about it.
There is no good reason for Apple to be holding back deliveries. This is not like previously launches. Extra week of lead time. iOS 9 is already released. Etc. I'm sure at this point the only motive is to prevent scalping, but such would be foolish with only days til general availability.
A lot of 6s are sitting at the nearest UPS facility already. They should just let them fly. Especially on the East Coast where they are expecting shipping delays due to the looney tunes that are going to cause traffic nightmares over the pagan leader of worldwide child molesters.
"At the heart of iPad Pro lies the new A9X, our third?generation chip with 64?bit desktop?class architecture. It delivers up to 1.8 times the CPU performance and double the graphics performance of iPad Air 2."
iPhone 6s and 6s+
"iPhone 6s is powered by the custom-designed 64-bit A9 chip. It delivers performance once found only in desktop computers. You’ll experience up to 70 percent faster CPU performance, and up to 90 percent faster GPU performance for all your favorite graphics-intensive games and apps."
You’ll experience ""up to"" 70 percent faster CPU performance, and ""up to"" 90 percent faster GPU performance for all your favorite graphics-intensive games and apps
still looks like pink. And I'm not trying to downplay the color. It does look nice.
I'm guessing a solid over-the-top sell rate of every single one that Apple can manufacture through January.
This color addition is HUGE to the bottom line, because it will even pull in the 6 digit thousands from 6 and 6+ users upgrading not because they really need to... but because they want the "next big fashion statement". Girl-Ga-Ga stuff here... and a few guys as well.
I've been using my iPhone 6 without screen protector for several months and the screen is still scratch-free (although the back has a scratch). From what I understand, the 6S/6S+ screen is even more scratch-resistant. My Apple Watch Sport screen is also scratch-free. The glass is very durable nowadays!

Even the bump is nice Apple claims 90% increase in performance but this shows about 50%. Of course claims are vague as this firs benchmarks is.
What a pretty pink phone.
Where does Apple claim that?
Yup. That's why I've been calling the one I ordered "my copper iPhone" from Day 0.
Hope the NSA didn't get a hold of them first...

they claimed 70% increase in performance for the iPhone 6s, not 90%
70% CPU.
90% GPU.
Where does Apple claim that?
From Apple...

It really is pretty bad. I almost wonder if the gray would have been a better choice for the rose gold model.
70% CPU.
90% GPU.
geekbench only measures CPU performance and memory performanceI've been using my iPhone 6 without screen protector for several months and the screen is still scratch-free (although the back has a scratch).
