Altho these are baselines vs a one of test for iphone 5

S3 does score quite high individually at 1781. But at thos score there is no real difference and the point is the underlying software architecture. Android requires a hell of a lop more beef to get it runing smoothly.

edit : ok just saw this coversation has already gone around the houses :) - ah well.. its all good.. for the upgrade is great i am a heavy user of amplitube, garageband, imovie and various similair apps for photo/video rendering so the speed bump is loooovely...

This is amazing indeed. Can't wait to get my hands on this hog. As for the Android, users: you can have even bigger specs under the hood, you will still get worse performance as long as you don't create your hardware for your software. Greetings to all of you

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.

The iPad3 is not more powerful than current-gen gaming consoles. It's clearly more powerful than the Wii, but you can't run anything like Uncharted 3, Modern Warfare 3 or Assassin's Creed 3 rendered in PS3/360-quality on an iPad.

It still is a really, really cool handheld gaming device, though.
 
It's just redicilous to see all those people who are trying to justify there smartphones. They are both good.
 
Wait, that chart is listing the iPhone 5 as ARMv7. Isn't it actually an ARMv7s? Could that mean the benchmark is faked?

You are not the first person I have heard this from. I believe there will be a lot more conversion of customers over to iPhone 5.

That is funny, I just charged my Droid and used it for a couple of apps & games over wifi (it is not activated on my account) and I was a little surprised how much slower it felt to the 4S. I can't imagine what people going from the Droid X to the 5 will be like. It is probably like going from the iPad 1 to the iPad 3.
 
The Galaxy S3 is better no doubt about it. But who cares, be happy with the iPhone 5.

I've said it before but I'll say it again - Geekbench results on different operating systems are not comparable.

That a software change would change the score just proves this - a hardware benchmark should do just that - benchmark hardware.

We can't conclude anything from these numbers, not that iPhone is faster, not that SG3 is faster - all we can conclude is that the new iPhone is significantly faster than previous iPhones and the new iPad (since they run the same OS).

We'll have to wait for the Anandtech benchmarks before we decide which CPU is faster - but GPU wise the iPhone will come out much faster.

Ah, a smart newbie, no pun intended.
+1
And this should be the end of this thread, this says it all.
 
Samefung is correct.

It doesn't take a genious to love an iPhone. Every one can do it, even kids and grandmas.

Exactly. For anyone who has to recalculate a 50,000 cell spreadsheet on their phone, get an S3. :D

Who the bleeding hell tries to use a 50,000-cell spreadsheet on a 4" screen?

I don't know about that...that sounds extremely odd, and you presented it as if it could be a frequent enough occurrence to give us pause.

Perhaps I am the one out of step, but I don't think so.

I deal with figures all day long, and I'd never do that. For one thing, I'd question the security, but that's another thing.
