A comparison would be nice...

That page is a chart of results for many of the previous models. As one can see, the iPhone 5's results are 2.55x better than the iPhone 4S. However, that should be taken with a grain of salt since we only have one iPhone 5 result.

Those data are "calibrated against a baseline score of 1,000 (which is the score of a single-processor Power Mac G5 @ 1.6GHz)".

Here's benchmarks from a year ago (iPhone 4S): http://www.anandtech.com/show/4951/iphone-4s-preliminary-ben...

There's more context and links here: http://www.macrumors.com/2012/09/16/iphone-5-benchmarks-appe...

TL;DR: iPhone 4S scores 623, iPad 2 scores 751. The iPhone 5, linked here, hits 1,601, according to Geekbench.

For comparison, iPhone 5's score of 1601 is better than:

• 2004 Power Mac G5 - 1571

• Samsung Galaxy S III - 1560

• Asus Nexus 7 - 1591

• iPad (3rd Generation) - 766

• iPhone 4S - 629

It seems a good chunk of that is not coming from the processor itself, but from other stuff like how fast is the memory, the storage, etc. So it might not have a better processor than Galaxy S3 or Nexus 7, but it may have slightly better storage and RAM memory.

If you compare the stats under "Integer Performance", things like "Blowfish" and "Text Compress" the iPhone 5 is consistently twice as fast as the 4S.

Anandtech is reporting that the iPhone 5 is using dual-channel 32bit LPDDR2 running at 1066MHz, about 33% more peak memory bandwidth than the iPhone 4s.

The score of 629 for the iPhone 4S and 766 for the iPad is "calibrated against a baseline score of 1,000 (which is the score of a single-processor Power Mac G5 @ 1.6GHz)" (see http://browser.primatelabs.com/ios-benchmarks) — not that big a difference, thus.

Those numbers are barely better than the SIII and Nexus. I would have expected more, given that Androids much faster than these are coming out any day now.

objclxt• 14 years ago

You need to remember the iPhone 5 uses a different architecture (armv7s) that Geekbench currently isn't compiled for. It's highly likely there wil be a number of optimisations to be had from moving between armv7 to armv7s, so the benchmark score for the iPhone 5 is highly likely to increase once the binaries are re-made.

I'm always surprised how many shipping Apple products are beaten in benchmarks by about-to-be-maybe-shipped-but-don't-yet-exist products from competitors. You think they'd do better than that!

jsz0• 14 years ago

Why? Apple's devices have rarely focused on raw performance though their access to the latest and greatest mobile GPUs has been way ahead of the curve in the last couple of years. Using a 4S it's actually a little hard for me to comprehend my device being any faster. Everything is already so fast and smooth. This may be the first generation of iPhone where the performance increases are barely noticeable to users.

kamechan• 14 years ago

the numbers are all over the place. would be nice if they also did an average score among all the phones with the same name.

here's a Galaxy S3 score better than the iPhone5:

and here's one showing the One X beating the iPhone 5:

of course there are lower ones as well. probably depends a lot on the ROM you're using.

> the numbers are all over the place. would be nice if they also did an average score among all the phones with the same name.

They do: http://browser.primatelabs.com/android-benchmarks

That said the data is pretty useless for many Android phones. For example the international S3 has a quad-core A9 based SoC while the US S3 has a dual-core krait based SoC. Also consider that both overclocking and underclocking is quite common amongst the android crowd that bother running geekbench.

The average across a product name is actually a really poor metic to use here. Well, geekbench scores in general are a really poor metric to use...

It'll be interesting to see the comparison once Geekbench has been compiled to support armv7s instructions.

jfpoole4• 14 years ago

Geekbench developer here.

Out of curiosity I built Geekbench with Xcode 4.5 (it's not available on the App Store yet) and took a look at the code generated for the armv7 and the armv7s architectures. Surprisingly there weren't a lot of differences between the two. The biggest difference I saw was that Xcode uses conditional VFP instructions (e.g., vaddeq.f64) for the armv7s but doesn't use them for the armv7 despite the fact that these instructions are supported by the armv7. My guess is that the A6 implementation of these instructions is much faster, but I won't know for sure until I can run benchmarks on the iPhone 5 myself.

Also, I could only find two instructions (sdiv and udiv) that Xcode generates for the armv7s architecture that aren't supported by the armv7 architecture.

TwoBit3• 14 years ago

I know the ARM instruction set fairly well (wrote a dissasembler) and would be surprised if armv7s made a significant difference.

ck2• 14 years ago

There has to be a memory bandwidth limit where the number of cores is rendered moot for quad-core arm7 to be slower than dual-core arm7.

Either that or the test is somehow being fooled, I noticed that benchmark code is updated frequently.

wmf3• 14 years ago

Tegra is known for low memory bandwidth.

zurn• 14 years ago

Googling yields a 6.4 GB/s figure for the single channel LPDDR3 supported by Tegra 3. It doesn't sound like the most likely bottleneck for a CPU benchmark given that those A9 cores plod along at about 1/10 the perf of a desktop chip.

What sort of bandwidth do other mobile chips provide?

edit: Looks more like 1/3 than 1/10, looking at the tests in geekbenchscores. I had the 1/10 figure from looking at Sunspider results (http://forum.beyond3d.com/showpost.php?s=502c8933367f315a17f...).

jfpoole4• 14 years ago

While Geekbench is updated frequently, the actual benchmark code is virtually unchanged since 2.0.0 was released.

antihero• 14 years ago

Grr, just stopped all my services and installed Geekbench to be told I have to pay $12 for the privilege of getting a number for my system.
