OK, it's a typical BGR headline but did anyone else see this iPhone 6S review?

These headlines are idiotic. iPhone 6S has no file system and doesn't run OS X
No, it doesn't have a file manager. It does have a file system.These headlines are idiotic. iPhone 6S has no file system and doesn't run OS X
MacBook cpu isn't great and especially its gpu is pathetic
Just look at http://barefeats.com/ipadpro1.html
The iphone6s is close to double the performance of the MacBook at Manhattan 1080p offscreen. That is just unbelievable.
Hope the skylake upgrade later this year or early next year can at least match the iPhone in graphics performance
Just stop already.
Those who own the RMB are ecstatic about its performance. These test sites are as useless as automotive horsepower comparos. Like anyone can use 600 horsepower on local streets and school zones.

Since when where there speed limits for CPUs and GPUs?
Okay, will someone post some kind of real world performance test that is cross platform.
Geekbench seems like it could be easily manipulated.
Regardless, I fail to see how a Core-M. Which is a Dual Core x86 CISC CPU. Which has Four Processing threads, and a turbo clock of 2Ghz is somehow beaten by a Phone SoC. Yet Intels new Atom is already benchmarked to outperform the fastest ARM SoC by 30%.

Why are you bring up a 2+ year old article? Atom is a joke compared to the latest Arm processors especially from Apple. They were competitive for a few months in 2013 when their new chip came out and that's about it.. Hasn't improve much since then.
And the version of the benchmark they test has been discredited as it unfairly biased Intel

How can you dismiss geekbench and then blindly believe a benchmark a 2+ year old article which later on was determined was invalid?
Btw.. There are a large amount of benchmarks where the 6s has shown to be very close to core m is cpu performance.
Here is a thread where users have released run quite a few:

Gpu performance is another story. The apple a9 in the 6s is a lot faster than the MacBook.
I was referring to your comment about using 600 horsepower on streets and school zones.
You don't need to be doing any heavy lifting to benefit from a faster CPU and GPU. Even something as common as surfing the internet can benefit.
Let me sum up this thread: Don't trust that benchmark, trust my benchmark.
Stop.
Surfing the internet is no different in terms of speed unless you measure your life in milliseconds. You've really got to stop with the misinformation. Numbers don't tell the story; happy owners do. And there are plenty of us reporting in at this point, everyone is very happy.

No, I'll sum up this thread:
Every RMB owner I've ever met, either here or in person, absolutely loves their notebook yet every day there are people who come into our subforum to tell us how our machines suck because of some statistical benchmark that doesn't apply to our use case and we'd like it to stop.
BJ
You're trying to tell me that the experience surfing on something like an old G3 Mac would be the same as a modern Mac?
Who's misinformed here? Stop trying to fool yourself.
I never said your machine sucks. You just seem to assume everyone thinks it sucks. Stop being so overly defensive in all your posts.
Benchmarks are benchmarks. They try to show the differences in performance between different machines. You can continue your denial and choose to ignore the numbers but the numbers don't lie.
launch applications quickly, will provide all the performance necessary for high quality Powerpoint presentations, email checking, Skyping with the kids, Dropbox access for files, and an Excel spreadsheet.
This brings us back to the original topic. A iPhone 6S can do all of this as well.
Plus, it's lighter and smaller. Battery life is great. TSA won't be giving you a problem because of it. iPhones are totally silent. No fan. Retina.
Benchmarks may not matter to YOU, but there are people who use their machines more that just the tasks YOU use it for and performance does matter. How can you expect that what meets YOUR needs will suffice for everyone? Benchmarks can help people determine which models of laptops can meet their needs. To flat out say that they don't matter is just ignorant.
