The difference of use between the two chips A9 iPhone 6s would be only around 2 to 3%, claims Apple. A verified data and approved by the testing ArsTechnica, to some extent
It was discovered a few days ago that the latest iPhone processor could come from two different foundries: TSMC or Samsung. After a first series of tests, we then saw that one and the other does not offer the same performance for autonomy. The TSMC model was then almost two hours of additional use. The batterygate was born.
Nothing at rest, but in charge ...
Apple was quick to make a clarification stating that the two chips were similar and could not observe a difference of 3% on autonomy. Taking this statement as a reference, ArsTechnica has made up his mind to make new benchmarks. Finally resulting in similar results.
A9 processor TSMC has an advantage of 2.2% over that of Samsung test Wi-Fi. Under GFXBench, the largest gap is observed which is only 4.3%, always in favor of TSMC. Ultimately, only Geekbench displays an autonomy of 28% gap between the two models of iPhone 6s.
Ars Technica concluded that the difference is negligible when the processor is not or little used. Also, the average consumer will not suffer with conventional use (surfing, telephony, social networking, photo, etc.). However, when the Samsung A9 processor supports up in game for example, it is much more energy than TSMC.
Samsung and TSMC, which embeds 6s my iPhone?
Remember that it is impossible to know the processor used by iPhone 6s when purchased. It is only once unpacked we can have this information when installing the application Battery Memory System Status Monitor. In its "System" menu, it is said he is a N71mAP or N66mAP model, it runs on the chip of TSMC. However, if this is the N71AP or N66AP mention is indicated, it works on the Samsung chip.
