![]() Aside from that, another reason is Apple has vastly improved the feed of Mobile Safari on iOS 6. AnandTech speculates the reason iPhone 5 has such a good Sunspider score is “Apple specifically targeted improvements in the memory subsystem when designing the A6’s CPU cores”, which fixed some issues in the default Cortex A9 memory management. Why is a dual-core phone scoring higher than a quad-core phone? The A6 processor in the iPhone 5 is a custom SoC designed by Apple. However, even against the international Galaxy S III, the iPhone 5 still has a higher Sunspider score: If compared to the international version of the Galaxy S III (the one that uses quad-core Exynos), the iPhone 5 actually comes equal or below international Galaxy S III’s Geekbench score: The American version of the Galaxy S III uses a dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor. The catch is the above video is benchmarking the American version of the Galaxy S III. Yes, it is true the iPhone 5 scored higher than the Galaxy S III in the above video. What is surprising are the other tests.Īccording to the Geekbench and Sunspider tests, the iPhone 5 scores more than the Galaxy S III - so it must be faster, right? Whoa, wait a second. With such a strong GPU, it is only logical iPhone 5 comes out on top when it comes to graphical performance. ![]() This is the second strongest GPU in a mobile device to date, second only to the new iPad (iPad 3). The iPhone 5 has a triple-core PowerVR SGX 543MP3. It is not surprising iPhone 5 schooled the Galaxy S III in GL Benchmark. Sunspider tests the JavaScript performance of a device, GL Benchmark tests the graphical power of a device, while Geekbench is an overall benchmark. The three benchmarks used in the video are Geekbench, Sunspider, and GL Benchmark. Many blogs and websites reported over the weekend that the iPhone 5 is faster than the Galaxy S III, using the following video as proof: ![]() (Did you expect me to give you a straight answer?) So what do the benchmarks show - is the iPhone 5 or Galaxy S III faster? Well it depends. While it is somewhat futile to try to compare the two to figure for the purposes of which is faster - because both give excellent, buttery-smooth, lag-free performance - the geeks among us love benchmarks. IPhone 5 and Galaxy S III are the two biggest hitters in the smartphone market today.
