Since the grand unveiling of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, a lot of talk has been diverted to one particular aspect of the smartphones - the latest A8 processing chipset with 1.4 GHz Cyclone CPU and an unknown graphics unit. Created with a 20nm manufacturing method, Apple claimed that the chipwill deliver faster CPU and GPU performance at a lower power consumption when compared to its predecessor A7 chip. However, latest iPhone 6 benchmark reveal that iPhone 6 is but a little improvement over iPhone 5s.iPhone 6 benchmark

iPhone 6 benchmark results:

We had earlier shared with you the specifics of this acclaimed A8 processor which promises to deliver 25% faster CPU and 50% faster GPU at a reduced power consumption rate:

While we can only relyon Cupertino's claims at the moment; testing results will further confirm (or not)these claims of 25% and 50% faster processors and more importantly, how "sustained" does the A8 process in the real life. We should add here that the 20-nanometer manufacturing technology used in making A8 chip also helps makingthe battery life better. So even though your processors have become faster, your battery will survive you a good time while you enjoy videos or play games.

These first iPhone 6 benchmark results are from the GPU testing Basemark X suite and come throughRightware. In this iPhone 6 benchmark testing, iPhone 6 has only shown a modest improvement with21,204points over iPhone 5s'20,253.

While these results aren't really news-breaking, a high CPU and GPU performance paired with Apple's "sustained performance" is expected toresult in the usual iPhone processing capabilities with lower battery consumption; albeit, not matching the Cupertino claims though.
