Alleged iPhone 6 Geekbench Results Reveal 1.4 GHz Dual-Core A8 Chip, 1 GB of RAM

[MacRumors]

Over the weekend, Weibo user zzray showed off an apparently working 4.7-inch iPhone 6, offering a first look at the device. Now, the user has also posted more information about the device (Google Translate, via GforGames), including results from a Geekbench 3 test that reveal a 1.4 GHz ARM processor and 1 GB of RAM for the device.

The results show that the iPhone 6 scored a 1633 on the single-core test and a 2920 on the multi-core test, which is greater than the 1305 single-core and 2347 dual-core Geekbench 3 scores for the 1.3 GHz A7 chip on the iPhone 5s. This also contrasts a previous report, which claimed that the A8 chip would top 2 GHz while remaining dual-core.

The data also displays 1GB of RAM, which is the same amount of RAM included on the iPhone 5s. A wiring schematic said to be from the iPhone 6 that surfaced last month also indicated that the device would have 1 GB of RAM.

The user has also posted a photo from the iPhone 6 and compared it to the same shot taken with iPhone 5s and LG G3. The 4.7-inch iPhone 6 is said to come with an improved camera module which is said to offer faster focusing speeds and power efficiency. Other leaks have pointed to the larger 5.5-inch iPhone 6 featuring an optical image stabilization system.

Apple is expected to reveal both the 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch iPhone 6 alongside the iWatch at a media event scheduled for today at 10 AM. MacRumors will have live coverage of the event as it unfolds.

These are good results. We shall see more today.

Not significant enough. But 6 hours left, there's so much hype that there isn't any hype.

I really hope that 1GB will be enough. My ipad Air is struggling with Safari and some other apps on a daily basis.

But my iphone 5 works just fine with 1 GB.

 

[nick_elt]

Hope the larger phone has more ram then, which sucks because i was leaning towards the 4.7"

 

[SMIDG3T]

Here we go with all the comments, it's not good enough etc.

That's OK, you enjoy your old devices while we enjoy our new iPhone 6.

Nice high resolution camera previews there.

I've never had an issue with lack of RAM on my iPhone 5, but I plan to have my iPhone 6 for 2 years, so I hope that 1GB will still be enough in 2 years time if Apple optimise well.

 

[StarkInc]

And one more time - 1 GB RAM iPhone .....

I just hope there is plenty to go around and i dont have to wait months to buy it

 

[bushido]

ugh my computer science and android friends will **** me to death making fun of the 1GB ram for months to come lol

 

[trekkie604]

if the rumored big one (if it exists) has 2gb of ram, I may have to go for that one then

 

[verpeiler]

Bummer...

 

[sulpfiction]

Until I start having problems with RAM on my phone, I'm not going to worry about RAM on my phone.

Thing is it's the 1GB RAM that's crippling our "old devices".

 

[Kariya]

Thats...underwhelming

 

[cRizz]

Not true!

Its all fake and photoshoped !!

 

[Jack snakeskin]

apple decided to turn the iPhone into a mid range phone this year..

 

[Pewpewpew]

Urgh I just got 1450/2570 on my 5s

 

[Haynzee]

If those photos are real, the Low Light performance appears outstanding, poor Nikon

Just think, iPhone 4S was the last iphone model to carry 512MB of RAM. We've come so far since 2011...

 

[Klae17]

I really hope that 1GB will be enough. My ipad Air is struggling with Safari and some other apps on a daily basis.

But my iphone 5 works just fine with 1 GB.

Why hope that 1GB will be enough? Why not hope for 2GB?

iOS (and WP) is way more efficient. Android needs the extra; it's not something to brag about.

 

[Jago]

I don't care about 4,7", but the 5,5" model better have 2GB

 

[ghsDUDE]

I love Apple and everything they do...but if they seriously think I'll buy a phone at the end of 2014 (to use through 2016) with 1GB of RAM, they're out of their minds.

but wont it hinder devs from making even greater apps? stuff you may not know would be possible cuz they cant even make them
