All that’s known is the iPhone 5 is really powerful. However, Apple has yet to, and likely won’t, confirm or reveal many of the nitty-gritty technical details. The A6 also have roughly 33 percent more peak memory bandwidth than the A5 used in the iPhone 4S.

Teardowns revealed the A6 is a custom chip with dual CPU cores and three GPUs. Tests have found the iPhone 5 to be the fastest, most powerful smartphone to date. “Earlier versions of Geekbench had trouble determining the A6’s frequency, which lead to people claiming the A6’s frequency as 1.0GHz as it was the most common value Geekbench reported,” he stated. In Geekbench benchmark testing the Apple iPhone 5 got a Single-core score of 157 points and Multi-core score of 278. You can use the benchmark result to decide whether the product is. But per a conversation with Engadget, Poole indicated Geekbench wasn’t properly measuring the clock speed before. Here we show you how fast the Apple iPhone 8 Plus 5.5 (2017) is in the benchmark Geekbench 5. System iPhone 12 Pro Max Apple A14 Bionic 2990 MHz (6 cores) Uploaded September 25th, 2023. But now that the software is compiled for iOS 6, it seems the A6 is slightly faster, and both CPU cores run at 1.3GHz.Īs Primate Labs’ John Poole states, the latest build of the app includes “a dramatically improved processor frequency detection algorithm, which consistently reports the A6’s frequency as 1.3GHz.”Įarly Geekbench tests seemed suggest the A6 ran between 1GHz to 1.2GHz. System iPhone 12 Pro Apple A14 Bionic 2990 MHz (6 cores) Uploaded September 25th, 2023. Earlier builds clocked the iPhone 5 at 1GHz.

This comes from the latest build of the iOS benchmarking software, Geekbench, which just released its iOS 6 version today. Speaking of trusting early reports, it seems that the A6 used in the iPhone 5 runs at 1.3GHz rather than 1GHz as previously reported. Geekbench 5 and 6 benchmark results, allegedly for the iPhone 15 Pro's A17 Bionic chip, were posted to Weibo by 937840 and shared by leakers Revegnus and ShrimpApplePro on Twitter.
