A9 Chip Manufacturing Split 60/40 Between TSMC and Samsung, Not Segmented by Device Size

[mattxr87]

my 6s plus has tsmc chip inside of it anyone got the samsung chip and ran geek bench?

my model number and core speed is differernt and slower than urs im tsmc

Whatever chip is in mine, it's a beast!

 

[zakarhino]

Can somone with Samsung run geekbench 3 and post?

TSMC benchmark is: 2526/4404

2542 Single Core

4444 Multi Core score

9.1 Beta.

My 6S Plus has been sweet, not sure which processor it has but whichever one it is, its been great.
I thought I would mention though since we are on the topic of crappy chips, skip the Lays Gyro flavor. Not sure what they were thinking but pretty bad if you ask me. The biscuits and gray flavor is less bad but its a skip too.

Really, sounds like a stupid reason. Get what you want, not based on some untested/verified application or what the hardcore apple geeks tell you. How do you know the app is actually reporting the correct information? Has anyone run it several times on proven chipsets to get a sample size for comparison so a true baseline can be established?

sarcasm detected...

If you are worried about installing, follow these 10 simple steps...

1. download app
2. turn on airplane mode
3. install app by trusting profile
4. run app
5. get result
6. take screenshot
7. praise or denounce your chip supplier
   
8. delete app & profile
9. turn off airplane mode
10. return to MR to post your screenshot

He has a 6S, while you have a 6S Plus.

given that the drop in geekbench performance between iOS versions could run as high as 200 points, this is insignificant.

 

[richard371]

Agreed,

Id never give up the 1 handed use of a 6 because the plus might have a Samsung chip where I will notice no difference. For all we know this guy could be giving opposite results just to mess with the OCD people out there lol.

I guess mine is Samsung too. We have identical scores.

How many GHz is your processor? I've seen some with 1.79 GHz & 1.82 GHz.

1.85 Ghz 6s Plus

EDIT: Just noticed the benchmark I ran yesterday night was running at 1.84 Ghz. Interesting.

Thanks, so same performance.

Just your iCloud password with all those previous backups.

You don't use 2 factor authentication?

Same here. 1.85 GHz iPhone 6S 64GB

EDIT: iOS 9.0

Jarred, PM me about your problem with Apple Music. After restoring my 6s Plus my entire iCloud Music Library screwed itself up. Managed to fix it.

TSMC on a 6S Plus here.

same here

 

[myname70]

6s plus, 64gb gold, bought 26Sep from Apple Store , Coven Garden , London --- TSMC CPU

 

[se1000]

128GB 6s Samsung

 

[LiE_]

6s 64GB with Samsung chip. iOS 9.0.1

 

[ParanoidDroid]

I have a TSMC phone! No wonder my battery doesn't last a day!

How to get the more energy efficient Samsung chip? Can I just walk into my local Apple Store and demand a new Samsung iPhone?

 

[se1000]

Cherry picked result

Again 128GB 6s Samsung

 

[El Hikaru]

I like opinions based on researches. There are way too many guessing and speculations on the street.

 

[agsystems]

Could not care less. My 6S Plus works great. Will charge my phone tonight for first time in 3 days.

Same here - I've being trying to run this guy down and its a 20% after 3 days

 

[rcalderoni]

I've got TSMC, my battery life is much better then on my regular 6

Samsung here, 2548/4431 (6s)

My TSMC Geekbenches almost exactly 1% lower than yours. Life isn't worth living!

It would be interesting to know whether there is any correlation of the CPU chip manufacturer with other parameters of the devices, such as the storage size.
