iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus have an A9 chip, different performance and autonomy, the chips being produced by those from Samsung and TSMC, the first company delivering to Apple chips made through a 14nm manufacturing process, while the second delivers chips made with a 16nm manufacturing process.
Although initially it was said that these different A9 chips of iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus it would not have any effect on the performances, it seems that in reality things would be different and not only the performances would be affected, but also the autonomy of the two terminals of those from Cupertino.
Although you would have expected the A9 chips produced by Samsung to be better based on the 14nm manufacturing process, in reality TSMC's 16nm chips are the ones that receive all the praise based on these tests, obtaining very good results good
iPhone 6S – A9 chip, different performance and autonomy
Even if Samsung's A9 chips in iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus perform 1% - 2% better than TSMC's A9 chips, the difference in terms of autonomy is much greater in favor of the chips produced by the Taiwanese, more precisely by approximately 50% in the energy consumed.
On the other hand TSMC's 16nm chip heats up 3 degrees more than Samsung's 14nm chip, but this is normal because we are also talking about different dimensions occupied by the two chips on the motherboard.
To be completely honest with you, I'm impressed that TSMC managed to offer better battery life with a larger chip, but given that Samsung stole production plans for 14nm chips from the Taiwanese, maybe things are not really that surprising.
I will tell you today how you can tell which of the types of A9 chips for iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus exist in your terminals.
