iPhone 6S si 6S iPhone Plus they will have one A9 chip, and its performances are again presented thanks to a new graphic published by an Asian source, the chip A9X appearing for the first time in a document published on the Internet.
I talked to you last week about how fast iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus will be with the new A9 chip, but what we see today is different from what two images showed us back then, the difference between the scores obtained in the benchmarks being quite large.
UPDATED: A new series of benchmarks deny the information in this image.
Last week I saw that the new A9 chip of the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus would obtain a score of 4577 points in the Geekbench 3 application, but today we see that this score comes down to only 3569 points, far below what was suggested to us that Apple's future component will offer.
If we look at the result from this benchmark, then iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus would offer a performance increase of up to 30% compared to iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus instead of the 60 percent initially expected, and this is in line with what Apple has offered in the past.
iPhone 6S performance revealed by a new benchmark
On the other hand, the A9X chip would get a score of 5101 points in the benchmark, 50% better than that of the A9 chip, and the difference is big, but in line with what we have already seen in a comparison performance between the A8 and A8X chips.
Unfortunately, the performances obtained in this test by the A9 chip are far below those of the Exynos 7420 chip used in Samsung Galaxy S6, Galaxy Note 5 or Galaxy S6 Edge +, and this would be a first for Apple, those from Cupertino generally offering better performances.
If you ask me, on a simple analysis of this image I would say that the result for the A9 chip is based on a dual-core processor with a higher working frequency than the A8 chip, while the result of the A9X chip is based on a triple-core processor with a higher working frequency than that of the A8X chip.
It would not be difficult to believe that Apple would keep the triple-core processor for the iPad and continue to use a dual-core processor in the iPhones, but this strategy would certainly disappoint a lot of users.
