iPhone 6 & 6 Plus beat out the competition in performance benchmarks

[RedRound2]

With the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus now officially in customers’ hands after a record opening weekend of iPhone sales, today we get a look at various benchmark results for the devices compared to the competition from AnandTech

 

The site notes it noticed a 13% increase in performance in its SunSpider benchmark test for the new A8 chip, but also significant increases in GPU performance giving the new devices “a pretty solid lead over the competition for the iPhone 6/A8.” In addition, the site points out that Apple has actually been able to achieve quite impressive battery life results (pictured above) considering the hardware it’s included in the new iPhone 6 models:

 

Normally an 1810 mAh battery with 3.82V nominal voltage would be quite a poor performer, but the iPhone 6 is a step above just about every other Android smartphone on the market. The iPhone 6 Plus also has a strong showing, although not quite delivering outrageous levels of battery life the way the Ascend Mate 2 does.

 

You can check out all the results of the various benchmarks here.

Where's the OnePlus One?

suprise suprise, the most expensive phone is the fastest

Android will probably never be as streamlined and as efficient as iOS because of the fact android must support tons of hardware, whereas apple curate it themselves. As such, this is probably understandable.

That said, I don't see the use in this performance if it means that apple has the ultimate decision on how you use hardware you paid for.

 

And btw, the iphone 6 battery size is not 'poor'. I have an intel chip in my razr i, which hogs far more juice than any recent smartphone processor, and with a 2000mah battery it has pretty damn good battery life. Pair a newer snapdragon with comparable specs and android, and I guarantee longer battery life.

ITT: iPhone beats out other devices in hardware specific software across different OS'. Unless they're running the same OS, invalid testing.

Good. It's new no it's almost on the top.

I just wonder how the 1GB of RAM handles heavy games.

Well, it's really not invalid because they're running a different OS. If they were both designed for the same OS but running a different OS then that would be an unfair comparison; but they're designed to run different OS's and therefore it's only fair to compare their performance with their respective OS.

 

With that said, benchmarks don't mean much.

"it's not all about specs and benchmarks." - anyone who's ever benefited from saying this

[Dietrichw]

not bad even beats out most other flagships until the GPU oriented tests come and the Nvidia Shield tablet comes and decimates everything.

[Victorious Secret]

And nearly 99.9% of consumers on Earth don't give a damn about this. 

 

Does it do selfies and instragram and send sexts. Thats the golden trifecta as they say.

No one cares because no one can buy it!
