I understand we will not know until the benchmarks come around, but based on what we know about the A8 and the fact that the A9's GPU is 90% faster, how does everyone think the A9 will compare to NVIDIA's X1 GPU?

Bummer, was really hoping to see the new iPhone outpower the X1.I think the A9 will not be comparable to the X1, but the A9X might be.
I don't think it has to. The A9X should still be a powerhouse. Plus what devices will use the X1, anyway?Bummer, was really hoping to see the new iPhone outpower the X1.
I don't use the iPad though. I'm a heavy iPhone user so would like to see the powerhouse inside of the new iPhone. I preordered the 6S Plus so am already losing performance compared to the 6 because of the big resolution difference.I don't think it has to. The A9X should still be a powerhouse.

I see. I think the A9 should make things much more comparable between the 6s and 6s Plus.I don't use the iPad though. I'm a heavy iPhone user so would like to see the powerhouse inside of the new iPhone.

That's a very valid point. I'm just really hoping the A9 blows the socks off of the A8 because the performance boost with the A8 over the A7 was disappointing.By the same argument, given how non-iOS devices tend to chase specs, you'll find your X1 powering a 4K display, which automatically makes it less performant than a A9 even on an iPhone 6S+. I mean look at how Sony is pairing a 4K display with a Snapdragon 810.....
Sony's faking 4k, not really 4k for the UI unless watching videos..pretty pointlessBy the same argument, given how non-iOS devices tend to chase specs, you'll find your X1 powering a 4K display, which automatically makes it less performant than a A9 even on an iPhone 6S+.

Are there any games that really take advantage of this extra power? If so which ones?I have the x1 Android TV tablet running asop vanilla Android and it literally laughs at anything I throw at it.
It is like another member mentioned in a whole different power consumption league.
It's not fair to compare them but nothing in the power envelop of a phone can come close.
The things runs native doom 3 port that my pc struggled with at like 60fps.
II ran some benches and it was scoring like 100fps more then the ax8 in most gaming runs.
Here is my x1 running some benchmarks
I just ran t Rex off screen on my gs6 and scored 56fps and ran the same test on my x1 and got 115fps its 2x the gpu power of the gs6 and the gs6 is no joke

Ahh got it! Forgot that they have games designed specifically to their X1. Would be nice to see more games take advantage of Apple's hardware, especially the A9. Look at how good Dead Trigger 2 looks and look at when that came out.Yeah quite a few that are specifically made for the hardware. You do know we are talking about nvidea here right lol.
There is a huge game store on the shield TV tablet and it also has full pc games in the stream section

1080p and 60fps playing doom 3!
I hope it does a little better than that. Order and Chaos 2, a WoW clone, lags quite a bit on my 6+.
