iPhone 6s Benchmark Thread

[escrow4]

I wouldn't use Apple if you gave me an Iphone for free and then paid me the outright cost. Way too locked down and you are forced to use the Apple ecosystem. An Android for half the price would be slower in benchmarks but next to indistinguishable in real life.

This is pretty off topic. Your hater screed would probably be better suited to Engadget. I'll stick with Apple over a creepy stalker phone.

Very original and enlightening. Thank you for sharing.

Have you ever used an iPhone? They are extremely good phones.

Wonder how much Metal is responsible for this, overall not just CPU oriented benches, also Intel's in real trouble now 😀

Does it use Metal or OpenGL?

 

[Rakehellion]

GFXbench OffScreen?

Downloading now. Ugh, why are there three different versions of the app? 😱

I posted GFXBench results already for all 4 main tests. Will be curious to see if your results differ.

The other two versions of the app.

6s non-Plus. My phone was very warm so I was probably being throttled.

 

[Rakehellion]

And the last version for perspective:

 

[ShintaiDK]

Same phone and OS, 3 different results depending on benchmark version?

 

[stingerman]

Doubt it's just metal because I moved from an iPhone 6 to the 6s and things are appreciably quicker.

Metal replace OpenCL in addition to OpenGL. That may not mean much for these benches, but it will mean a lot to developers who leverage it.

 

[Rakehellion]

There's a Metal version and an OpenGL version. Metal is faster, obviously.

 

[Rakehellion]

Okay, there's a huge difference with throttling.

Cold phone:

Hot phone:

It's slower.

39 vs 32
78 vs 65

 

[catinthefurnace]

It's slower.

39 vs 32
78 vs 65

Ah, he must have edited his post to fix the images. They used to be identical

 

[ShintaiDK]

It's slower.

39 vs 32
78 vs 65

15-20% drop.

 

[catinthefurnace]

15-20% drop.

Maybe it's that damn memory bandwidth again, right ShintaiDK? 😀

If you have the time I would love to see some of these benchmarks run again with is power mode turned on. Thanks!

Just got my 6s this morning. Here are some benchmarking results for your viewing pleasure:

Geekbench 3:

Oh my God!

 

[el etro]

And it is the SoC(Apple A family) that throttles less. Others throttle much more, but not like SD810.

Thanks for the benches. Does it get warm during heavy use at all? I can see they bumped the clock speed quite a bit, what about cooling. Can you get RealTemp or smth to monitor the temps. Heh.

It seems to get warmest when charging.

It got warm (not hot by any means) when I ran the JetStream benchmark, but it didn't seem to throttle even after a couple of repeated runs.

BTW, according to JetStream, it's 40% faster than my AMD Athlon II X3 435 desktop running at 2.9 GHz, with Windows 7 and Firefox 41.

Web based benchmarks do not seem that indicative of overall CPU performance anymore, at least cross-compared across OSes.

While the CPU is certainly faster than before, we can't say how much of that is due to the highly, highly optimized browser and specific optimizations targeted to the common web benchmarks.

You have to give it to Apple though, their latest browser is untouchably well optimized at least for these benchmarks.

After lots of heavy 3D gaming it gets a little warm, but by no means uncomfortable.
