Apple will introduce new flagships in just a few weeks iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, but we already know some interesting things about the phones. If we think that we could find a better camera and Force Touch technology in the phone, iPhone The 6s will also bring more powerful hardware, which the new features will have absolutely no problem with. Now on the server 9to5mac discovered an interesting reasoning according to which it is possible that the processor Apple A9, which will be used in iPhone 6s, could contain up to four cores and not only bring a dramatic increase in performance over last year's iPhone 6, but could also surpass iPad Air 2.

The whole assumption is based on the facts that follow from the alleged benchmark iPhone 6s that appeared at the end of the week. According to screenshotyou had a new one iPhone score 1921 points in the single-core test and up to 4873 points in the multi-core test. For the sake of interest, it is 300 points more than he had iPad Air 2. There are therefore two possible explanations for what we can expect in the fall. The first explanation says that the A9 chip contains three cores with the same frequency, which is higher than the iPad Air partly because of the higher frequency and partly because of the newer production process. The chip is manufactured using 14- and 16-nm FinFET processes, while the A8 and A8X were manufactured using a 20-nm process.

However, the second explanation is much more interesting and would definitely be interesting if Apple decided to use It is said that there will be up to four cores, two of which have a frequency of 1.7 GHz and the remaining two have a frequency of 1.2 GHz, so they are more economical. And we know that iOS 9 brings a battery saving mode where processor performance is reduced. In the case of the iPhone 6s, this could mean that if the mode is activated by itself, the system will cut the more powerful cores from power and start the less powerful cores, thus saving the battery. The system will be a bit slower, but it shouldn't be an extreme slowdown. In addition, longer battery life is, according to users, a critical feature that they have been wanting for many years, well Apple instead of a rougher mobile phone with a larger battery, they are constantly serving up thinner and thinner devices that don't even fit the camera anymore.

Finally, what is interesting is that the processor will be on the performance side Apple A9, if these claims are confirmed, as powerful as a 2009 iMac or MacBook Air 2011, so we are really approaching the day when mobile devices will be as powerful as the computer on which the editor is currently writing his article. And it may mean that in a year we will meet such a great performance, right iOS 10 will actually be called iOS X and it will be possible to use it to work with applications that were previously intended for the desktop.
