Thanks for the vid. Pretty much shows there is nothing in it between the new iPhones and we don't need to worry about this insignificant detail any longer
----------
If the iPhone 6 didn't exist, people like me would have to consider other manufacturers that produce smaller devices as the 6 Plus is just too large for some of our tastes. There are markets for both sizes and we need to remember that.
It would appear based on Engadgets review that the CPU speed on the 6 and 6 Plus is the same whilst the GPU on the 6 Plus is clocked higher.
Here are their scores:
You can see that in the CPU benchmarks it scores lower but in the GPU heavy 3DMark it scores 1,000 points more.
Doesn't really mean one phone is faster than the other though because that GPU lead the 6+ has right now will vanish once apps start pushing more pixels on it when they are optimised. So essentially the two phones will perform identically eventually.

Oh no...one phone is .000001 seconds faster than the next phone. That's such a big deal...
All early benchmarks are showing analogous scores. The Geekbench app shows the same frequency, the same RAM, Apple says it's the same chip, what more proof do you need? Apple gives you a choice for once and you behave like children trying to defend yours.
Downscaling is that issue no one complains about until they realize it's actually a thing.
