Purported iPhone 5 benchmark score doubles fastest iDevices, outperforms Android's best

That's impressive, if true. 2 cores and a more efficient OS beating 4 cores of a slap-happy OS. Not too surprising.

Very impressive. Can't wait to read about the tear downs later this week and get all the specs.

Not so fast.....

HTC One S - Geekbench Browser


I own this phone. Now, don't get me wrong, the new iPhone IS A15. It's an amazing 1GHz monster....but it's not the fastest thing out here. In Korea, LG's new phone has 4 cores of my HTC's processor. I would guess a 2000+ in this test. The new iPhone is not the fastest by a far cry, but it's darn impressive and it bodes well for the next iPad.

HTC HTC One S - Geekbench Browser The difference is pretty staggering. I know Geekbench does not always read overclocked speeds.

Better check Anandtech. Anand found out it's NOT an A15.

So, annoyed by the idea that you think a score 1/3rd the one I was showing...I went to the app store with my phone, grabbed the app, and did the benchmark myself.

It spit out ~1580- 1595 each time. My device is stock and out of the box, T-Mobile USA Edition, non rooted, not overclocked.

Now, it's worth noting, from 1580 to 1601 is less than 2%, well within a margin of error. 2% is a very small difference. I can't say the iPhone 5 is the slowest, but it's not a quantum leap in the market.

I see it's not A15, It's a similar solution to the Snapdragon S4 in my One S, a custom core design.

I'm not hating on the 5 or it's processor, we just have to remember that if we act like rabid fanboys, we just make ourselves look like idiots. Have some bravery, put it to the test see if it's the fastest.

So I am a "Rabid Fanboy" for stating it's not an A15?

No, it was not directed on you, it was directed on the person above who posted a very wrong benchmark score of the Snapdragon S4 that was 1/3 that of real world results, claiming the score I posed was overclocked. Sorry for the confusion. as a mac owner myself and user/sorta fanboy. I was just reminding us that this is the reason that we are mocked, because sometimes we do act like rabid fanboys to the point of fabrication.

FYI - My 8gig Nexus 7 tested = 1552, My 16Gig Iphone 4 = 392..!!
