You should be a clickbait writer for some bush league tech news website (like PhoneArena) with this thread.
"In any case, the impromptu results indicate that the 14nm and 16nm die sizes are so close to each other, that their performance overlaps, and the 16nm even pulls a bit ahead. You can stop worrying what exactly kind of A9 is in your new iPhone, though, as they are both crushing the benchmarks anyway."
Interesting stuff, 20% more battery is nothing to sneeze at.. haven't seen any mention here about this yet.
Live test results comparing Samsung 14nm vs TSMC 16nm chip.

Chinese website ran live benchmarks on each chip showing TSMC with up to 20% better battery life

TSMC also showed a slight performance advantage

What is the source of your "in reality" claims?No surprise Chinese media supporting Chinese TSMC fab. In reality, Samsung 14nm node is better, more reliable, cooler, faster and with better screen-on time and standby battery life.
Sounds like you're in the denial stage.No surprise Chinese media supporting Chinese TSMC fab. In reality, Samsung 14nm node is better, more reliable, cooler, faster and with better screen-on time and standby battery life.
I am chill. (I just had a cookie and I'm drinking some coffee.) Just call out propagation of click-bait when I see it.Let me guess, Samsung chip?
jk, chill man I didn't write the article.
again, if one chip is superior like 20% more battery time than the other Apple is in a big trouble. I doubt this is true. I am sure Apple already done power consumption analysis between two chips and should be similar before they started shipping.
Sounds like a Samsung chip owner...lolNo surprise Chinese media supporting Chinese TSMC fab. In reality, Samsung 14nm node is better, more reliable, cooler, faster and with better screen-on time and standby battery life.
Remember boys. TSMC is the reason why Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 has been a failure with overheating and poor battery life. Guess what fab Qualcomm is switching to for the Snapdragon 820? That's right Samsung 14 nm.
Could also be the TSMC heating up and throttling, hence longer battery life in non-stop running tests.
Their review is taking a long time, so perhaps they're going really in-depth into this issue.This is why I'm waiting for somewhere like anand to run detailed testing before drawing any conclusions.

Don't know which chip I have; don't care.
