Since when does geekbench show the chip version?? (It says Motherboard: N71AP)
Here are some primary cpu benchmark results of people who have used Geekbench with today's update:

Edit: They look kind of the same to me.

I ran Geekbench battery test on different iPhones last night and this is what I got:
one-year-old 6 Plus: 4hr20min
6s w/ TSMC chip: 5hr34min
6s Plus w/ Samsung chip: 6hr7min
All the phones are restored from the same backup, latest iOS, lowest screen brightness, Airplane mode on. Do the results tell me anything about real-world battery life? No! The battery in my 6 Plus is fantastic, there's no way the 6s could last longer with same usage. Don't be obsessed with these tests.

You compare orange with banana since you compare 6s tsmc with 6sp samsung.
That's incorrect!
I am confused why are you comparing a 6s plus with 6s????? Just delete geekbench app and go watch the bachelorette.
The difference is slight but it's definitely in samsung's favour. This is significant because all the battery benchmarks and other tests people have been doing have been about maxing out the processor, just like these performance tests do - at which point the Samsung is running quicker, and apparently consuming more energy. If they can reign that back in ever so slightly in firmware, then things might just level out considerably (and predictably, this whole thing will have been a storm in a teacup).
There's been chips in the past where going smaller doesn't mean less heat/faster speeds. Intel's Prescott chip comes to mind. Also Samsung's 14nm is nowhere near as advanced as Intel's 14nm
your argument would hold water if the Samsung were anywhere from 5% to 20% faster, but sadly even if you cherry pick the best and worst scores, the Samsung is less than 1% faster. There would be rioting in the streets if Apple artificially restricted Samsung performance by 5-20% to match TSMC power usage. And no I don't believe apples 2-3% difference in battery life statement.
I don't think it works like that - the performance test measures the speed performing various single tasks in a short burst, while the battery test measures the overall impact of that over a very extended (and unrealistic) time - I don't think the numbers would correlate in the way you expect and I suspect even a very small difference in one could have a big effect on the other.
Coincidence?
I have done both ways many times and never had a single issue from backup.
That's too funny. Sorry but the reason I asked was because over here accountants have a perception of being boring with no sense of humour.
So your TSMC 6s almost matches your Samsung 6s Plus in battery life, with it's WAY smaller battery. Did you even understand your own benches?
A TSMC 6s Plus has about 8 hours in your test, so I am not sure what you're so happy about.
2nd samsung worse than first one...

I have the samsung chip running in a 6s and have ran the Geekbench 3 processor test a couple of times. Results are :-
test 1 - single core - 2549, multi core - 4445
test 2 - single core - 2552, multi core - 4460
I tend to run my phone without really making any batter saving selections (i.e. i run with Bluetooth, WiFi and Mobile data on all the time, don't use low power mode, keep the screen on auto brightness and don't reduce any animations etc.) and tend to finish the day with around 40% battery after around 6-7 hours usage (Facebook, phone, email, safari, youtube, the odd game etc.) and around 16 hours standby.
Today, i've used the phone around 40 mins (mainly Facebook) and have around 2 hours standby and am still on 100%. Overall I am very happy with the performance of the device and the battery life. All devices have tolerances in their performance and you will most likely find that there will be good and bad versions of each chip. If it's true that there are more Samsung chips out there, then perhaps there are more folk with chips that are performing less well. I would be however that there's not much in it between the best and the worst of TSMC chip and Samsung chip. It could even be that the tolerances used by Samsung are wider than those used by TSMC, so there are more extremes.

Hah! You can't even see how ironic your test was. (6s nearly matched the Plus if it had TSMC)
Read the entire post.
He's right the benchmark doesn't translate to real world results. The Galaxy s6 battery benchmark is better than the 6 plus. Do you believe that the gs6 gets better battery life than the 6 plus?
Benchmarks are just a dick measuring contest and a lot of people are overcompensating.
It's actually watching my video subscriptions not just audio. Don't know why it says audio.
You really think Apple would send an update to actually make the majority of peoples iPhones run warmer and increase battery consumption?? I sincerely hope not!!
If an S6 was playing games straight through from 100%-0%, yes, maybe it DOES get better battery life. Is that so hard for you to believe?
