Apple iPhone 5's A6 chipset performance examined in detail - read the full textEver since the Apple iPhone 5 was announced, the A6 chipset which powers it has been something of a riddle.

Why do you show all the specification & performances which Iphone5 is better than GS III?
& why do we have to believe these Numbers?
It's known that SG III is the best
You just straining

And here come the Fandroids.

They claimed the sunspider Java benchmarks were fake, the drop tests unfair, and now the new benchmarks are obviously because the phone has a .8 of an inch smaller, LOL.

Its not like I was planning to do something in the interim.

In a few months it may all change due to innovation.

I've seen some bench mark test on youtube and side by side the IP5 came out better, but please,just adding LTE and Simultaneous HD video and image recording

As owner of both Nokia & Samsung smartphones you can keep the benchmarks as you have paid & paid and paid

It looks like Apple built the Iphone 5 around the benchmarks. Interesting, considering Apple's 'you-don't-need-to-know' attitude towards it's customers.

Smaller iphone screen and not even hd resolution. Thats kinda expected since higher resolution pushes more pixels.

Benchmark are for nerds. Who needs benchmark like these when we can play 1080p videos or HD games on a bigger screen than just an elongated cheap LCD with a stupid name like retina pupil or whatever.lol! Plus the benchmark looks pretty shady to me. I mean, whytf is s3 way down at the bottom of the chart when all the test ran by GSMArena themselves were just on par or almost equal with Tegra 3? Don't get your hopes up to soon iFans, cuz if Nokia can fake their imaging ads, Apple also can do so with the Benchmarks. I mean, why not? Apple has a lot of money to pay writers, and they're also the master of deceptions. LMAO!!!

compare the SG3 results from this source to GSMArena's own and you'll notice the dodgy difference in the numbers. And lets not forget JB will increase the results for many of these benchmarks.
