WHOA! So awesome.

 

[clukas]

WOW, very impressive!

 

[thasan]

If it's real.. Holy *****, dude.

Yea...IF its real....:

 

[palmerc2]

Soooo how do these stack up to computers from about 5 years ago? They can't be that far apart right? Is there a way to compare the 2 platforms?

This one score also places the iPhone 5 ahead of the average scores of all Android phones on Geekbench.

You hear that hardware loving Fandroids and Samesungeans? You hear that?? Check and mate!!

I just want to get this straight so I'm not misinformed here.

So it's more powerful than the ipad3, which was already more powerful than current-gen gaming consoles, with nearly double the benchmark to boot.

Do I have this correct.

Yup.

 

[pgiguere1]

Damn, the iPhone 5 will officially be the fastest smartphone out there.

And that's just theoretical performance. In practice the resource-efficiency of iOS will make this phone even more of a beast.

I'm impressed.

 

[pk7]

Screamer!!!!

I am very impressed!

This is what I love about Apple. Everyone whines that the new generation of devices is not much of a change, but then the numbers come out and blow everyone away.

That is just too rude mate. Drop that.

Don't literally abuse people for a ****ing phone.

 

[PhoenixMac]

But...but... the S3 has better specs?

Not just smartphone but fastest damn portable device. So excited to get mine friday! Going to make my ipad 3 feel slow

 

[penajmz]

Galaxy S III = 1560.

Check mate, spec freaks.

 

[KPOM]

With quad core and 2 gig ram... What a waste if space

I guess it isn't all about cores and clock speed! Impressive work, Apple.

 

[Hakone]

Specs are what matter, right?! O.O

Of course the iPhone is faster. Android apps are Java. Java is always slower than native code (and while some of you will argue that Objective-C runs on top of a virtual machine, it is much closer to native code than Java).

 

[chrmjenkins]

Important to note this will change when exynos 5 and Omap 5 and their like hit the market. But this is pretty big for a 1 GHz core.

 

[pgiguere1]

Yeah, it's even beating tablets.

I just looked up other Geekbench results and it's getting close to performance of earlier MacBook Air models. Very impressive.

Yea agree, sorry, changed it to something more appropriate.

 

[vega07]

Damn, does this mean I'm going to upgrade my retina iPad next year when it gets a newer processor?

UGH!!!

 

[thasan]

I don't understand... So someone.. Submitted the benchmark? Why do we even believe it?

 

[kockgunner]

I don't care about benchmarks but this will shut up all the annoying Android users about how great the mighty S3 is on the spec sheet and they will finally have to explain how their phones are better with regards to FEATURES.

[Oppressed]

Samsung needs to update their ad.

Objective-C runs on top of a virtual machine???

Whoever makes/made that claim clearly has no freaking clue what he/she is talking about.
