A4 to A5 - 2X CPU and 9X GPU (yes 9X, that is not a typo)
A5 to A6 - 2X CPU and 2X GPU
A6 to A7 - 2X CPU and 2X GPU
A7 to A8 - 25% CPU and 50% GPU (instead of twice the power like previous chips, we got 25% and 50%)
A8 to A9 - 70% CPU and 90% GPU
In almost all chip upgrades, the power was increased by 100% however the A8 only got a 25 to 50% increase. I know you can argue that the A8 got power efficiency, but does that really mean anything? Every iPhone has pretty much the same battery life.
