What kind of overheating issues?
"Oh the phone feels hot" or On-screen warnings about high-temps?

"Oh the phone feels hot" or On-screen warnings about high-temps?
Hey, you wouldn't happen to have or mind grabbing Geekbench 3 and seeing what scores you get, would you? So far you're the only one I've noticed who definitely has the 65 Plus and a different chip.
Don't mind me. I'm just sitting here laughing while I read this thread.
It really is like watching a massive car crash; I don't even have a 6s(whatever) so I'm not even sure why I started reading in the first place. Except I knew some absurdity would start.

I ran side by side with a guy at my office who has the TSMC chip and mine beat his in Geekbench by ~150 pts consistently.
I'll tell you my story - I restored from backup (6s jailbroken) didn't want to lose game data - with background and location apps setting off - my phone 6s+ was hot even when it was idle
My wife's 6s+ set up as new (she is an android convert) no issues with heat or slowness
I ended up running Cydia Impactor to remove the jailbreak, backing up and then restoring that copy to my 6s+ and my overheating is gone.
I would have thought Samsung was ahead of TMSC in terms of production scale,

You da real MVP. Finally someone who meets all of the criteria for the post I'm looking for: your model, your chip, and GB results.
I'll run mine again real quick. I have the TSMC on my 6s Plus

You've definitely got me on the single core, and we might be almost close enough for there to not be a consistently significant difference on the dual core.
Whoa whoa whoa. There's a jailbreak out? I coulda sworn I just looked like yesterday lol.
Considering a guy on this thread got about the same score as you with a TSMC, there are other factors at work here don't you think... I really find the whole thing funny.
The fact you mention 150 points as linked is also really funny, the differences are likely within the margin of error of the normal chip variation, not that large.
The
Not doubting what you are seeing but I get the same inconsistent result on my phone and that's expected as we don't know what background process are running before you run your tests.
see below - same 6s+ yesterday and just now.
Thanks everyone - I am having a blast with this discussion
Its that you actually made a big deal of this, which makes me wonder what sort of other things you make a big deal of your life, this isn't even a non-issue, its a non-issue-non-issue and you're using as a reason not to buy and calling me an apologist in defence hahaha
People finding out TSMC or Samsung, you trust installing a profile to make that happen??
I wish there was a cleaner method to

Smaller die size runs cooler, cooler chips can run at higher speed they also take longer to start throttling due to heat. It's probably probably insignificant but doesn't change the fact smaller die is usually better.
Linking this article is a bit disingenuous because everyone had issues with 20nm for GPUs. That's why it's 2015 and all consumer GPU's on the market are still 28nm. Crafting a GPU is not even in the same universe as crafting a significantly less complex SoC.
I don't see what the big deal is. If the iPhone functions, and performs, as desired and expected, why would anyone care about which chip the iPhone has, and want to return/exchange for a different one?
