Oh boy. Gonna be a lawsuit. Looks like the Samsung chip being 10% more efficient is going to get and extra hour or so of battery life and be a little quicker. We need to figure out how to identify the chip based on the info on the box so we can cherry pick the good ones from the bad crappy ones.

You need to have some reading comprehension skills. The article says "perhaps more power efficient." No one has been able to test this yet, and a die shrink doesn't automatically result in a linear reduction of power. One author's speculation doesn't mean jack.
 
6s 64GB Samsung.

Yes and you better figure it out quickly before the 2 week return for any reason period runs out. Do people really think Apple employees are going to start lining up boxes of iPhones to let you open and run the hiraku app on? :rolleyes:

Just picked up a 6s+ 128gb space grey. TSMC.

Until someone does a side by side and verifies more than 1% difference, who cares. There's no way apple would do this if it meant randomly differing performance.
You'd be surprised.... Apple has been putting slower SSD's in their MacBooks for years. You either get a super fast Samsung one or an 'average SSD' like Sandisk or the mediocre Toshiba(sand force) SSD. So I'm well aware of Apple's previous 'Lottery' schemes.

Just ran it 2 more times, phone is warm to the touch. Still ran at 1.85ghz but this time my single core score was 2469 and multi core score was 4273. Throttling?? No idea?
 
A 1% difference in these benchmarks is within the margin of error of running the test on the same device. If I run the benchmark over and over again I get variations all within the same margin that were seeing here between the difference of manufacturers. Even if a 1% difference were actually consistent this would be beyond insignificant in daily use.

Benchmarks from different owners aren't going to be anything to go by unless all conditions are equal. Background sync, push notification, ambient temperature, running apps, and so on will contribute to the score.
But in all honesty, I can't see it being more than a 5%. Difference in performance.
I'm curious however about the battery life and standby difference!
 
Interesting. I guess it fluctuates. The iPhone 6S is fast regardless of which chip it has.
Yeah. Just ran the test multiple times again and it stayed at 1.85ghz. Here's the last benchmark. Don't really care about this test but I was just curious how my TSMC compared to Samsung posted in this thread. I'm much more interested in battery life.

Meh. My iPhone 6s Plus absolutely SMOKES any phone I've owned before. I don't care if it's a Ferrari or a Lamborghini engine at this point. Either works for me :)
