Anyone notice after the recent geekbench app update, scores have gone down? My original 5 was getting 16xx and now my replacement 12-13xx?? Should I worry? I noticed there was a gb app update...
Got a tip for us?

Not really no. Seems to be the same as the other one. But now my brain is going to be telling me its slower haha

I emailed one of the developers about that. The A6 is very dynamic in how it adjusts its speed based on load to save power. I have run so many geekbench tests. On some low ends I have seen 800 on my iphone 5 and scores ranging all the way up to 1647. I think it is just the processor adjusting itself and GB might release an updated version of the app to give more accurate results.
So OP, I don't think your phone is faulty, it's just the nature of this new processor. Unless you are experiencing a lot of lag elsewhere in the OS.
Some of my scores (all 4 tests ran in a row with no apps open). Notice how the A6 increases speed each time to adjust for the conditions.

Thanks guys. I was being paranoid. So far this phone seems perfect an I was expecting something to be wrong . Runs fine. Processor must just "adapt" I guess.

I just did 3 in a row. First one was 852. I hopped out, loaded up a few more programs, ran it again and got 14xx. Jumped out and ran still more apps, then ran it again and got 1638.
As others have said, the A6 must be pretty dynamic and GB must have updated it to be more accurate. Using another app, I have no over-use of memory or processor power so all looks well.
