Yesterday we got to see a video of some benchmarks on Apple’s new iPhone 4S, and now the first GeekBench benchmarks for the iPhone 4S have been revealed. According to the guys over at Mac Rumors, there is a significant increase over the iPhone 4.
The original iPhone 4 scored a GeekBench score of 370, while the new iPhone 4S scored 622. This score is slightly lower than that of the iPad 2, which scored 749 and also features the same dual-core A5 processor as the new iPhone 4S. This substantial improvement in the GeekBench score indicates that the iPhone 4S is not just a minor upgrade but a significant enhancement in terms of performance.
Performance Improvements
The performance improvements in the iPhone 4S can be attributed to several factors. The A5 processor, which is a dual-core chip, offers twice the processing power and up to seven times the graphics performance compared to the A4 chip found in the iPhone 4. This makes the iPhone 4S much more capable of handling demanding applications and games, providing a smoother and more responsive user experience.
Additionally, the iPhone 4S comes with 512MB of RAM, which, while the same as the iPhone 4, is better optimized in the 4S due to the improved processor and software enhancements. This optimization helps in better multitasking and faster app loading times.
Real-World Usage
In real-world usage, these benchmark scores translate to noticeable improvements in everyday tasks. For instance, launching apps, browsing the web, and using the camera are all faster on the iPhone 4S. The improved graphics performance also means that games and other graphics-intensive applications run more smoothly and look better.
The iPhone 4S also benefits from iOS 5, which introduces new features such as Notification Center, iMessage, and iCloud. These features not only enhance the user experience but also take advantage of the improved hardware to provide a more seamless and integrated experience.
We can expect to see a few more benchmarks when the iPhone 4S goes on sale this Friday, but from what we have seen so far, it looks like it is going to be quite a bit faster than the current iPhone 4. This speed increase is likely to be appreciated by users who rely on their phones for a variety of tasks, from communication to entertainment.
