Which chip does your 6s(6s+) have?

[fffizzz]

Added my 6S + Samsung as well

 

[Silver Idaten]

But guys, TSMC is inferior and Samsung is superior based on no evidence whatsoever!

 

[Serickmetz]

I'll check what I have tomorrow but I have a feeling it's a tsmc because I keep getting seconds long freezes and slow responding apps at times.

That's an iOS 9 issue. There is no evidence whatsoever to suggest that TSMC chips cause freezing or any issues whatsoever. None. Zero. Nada. Zilch

There's this bizarre feeling here that TSMC is inferior to Samsung simply because people have heard of Samsung since they make end user products. TSMC doesn't make end user products, but they are far more experienced at semiconductor manufacturing. They make all the chips for AMD, nVidia, Qualcomm and many more. Even Intel has used them as an adjunct source for some of their chips when their own factories couldn't meet demand.

Agreed

Why do people automatically assume Samsung's chip is superior?

 

[CNeufeld]

Why do people automatically assume Samsung's chip is superior?

Because Samsung phones are best!

Oh... Wait a minute...

C

 

[asleep]

There has to be a free/safe app that identifies this by now, no...?

 

[enthawizeguy]

how do i check now that the profile is banned by apple? i just exchanged my iPhone today. its super laggy compared to my first one so I'm wondering why

 

[AleXXXa]

Why do people automatically assume Samsung's chip is superior?

Because the forums are full of armchair engineers and they think a 14nm CPU is automatically better than a 16nm CPU in terms of performance/battery life. In reality, they have no idea what that number actually means and why the Samsung could be the least efficient one.

128gb ATT 6S+

n66mAP .. so I guess I have TSMC

Well, it looks like there IS a difference in the A9 chips. Is there a real world difference? NO...all your questions have finally been answered...

That article doesn't prove the Samsung chips are the better performers, or that the CPU manufacturer/process is even responsible for the performance differences. Both of those things are just assumed.

Well, it looks like it partially installed the app on my phone. I cannot delete it now. I dont get the option to hit the X when I have the icon shaking....

 

[ross1998]

No freeway to check? I would like to know but don't think its worth paying 2.99 to know what chip your phone has

I'm going to check using geekbench tomorrow. If I constantly score 2540+ then it's Samsung. 2540 and less is tsmc.

 

[maattt]

I have rerun this geekbench battery test.

6s+, 128gb, TSMC

9.0.1

I was given the option to delete the app in the same place where I 'trusted' the developer in the settings. Maybe you can delete it there.

That's an insane battery score

Just restart your phone then it will have the X option when you wiggle it.

And yet I'm not super stoked about my battery life in "real life usage".

Interesting. Going to test mine tonight I think. My battery seems much better today after loading 9.0.2. Might just be in my head.

 

[maattt]

Just got done running the battery test overnight on both phones (Samsung and TSMC chips). Not sure if the test is accurate, but here are the results:

Samsung:

TSMC:
View attachment 588656

Surprisingly, my TSMC chip is able to last longer, by quite a large margin, than the Samsung chip. Also, FYI, both phones are pretty much identical as they are both running on the same backup and settings. Both updated to the latest iOS.

I'm going to run another test overnight again to see if it's still the same.

This is a really interesting test result. I wouldn't expect this.

Does the Samsung run significantly hotter?

Go under profiles and then delete. The app will be removed with it.

I don't think 4 phones reaches statistical significance and apparently they don't even know which chip is in the 4 phones. A lot of assumptions are being made and maybe correctly, but certainly not based on their testing.
