The new chipset in the iPhone is still a bit of a mystery. We know that the A8 CPU itself is a dual-core 1.4GHz Cyclone CPU, but the GPU has not been revealed yet. The industry speculation suggests it is the PowerVR GX6650, which is the next generation version of the same thing found in the iPhone 5s.
A set of benchmarks for the iPhone 6 recently popped up online. The performance is not at the top of the heap, but is still very respectable. The iPhone 6 scores a solid 21,204, which is only a bit behind the Samsung Galaxy S5 with a 23,501 score.
Of course, these kinds of raw performance numbers do not necessarily translate into a real world experience. One of the things that Apple excels at is eking every bit of performance out their hardware by optimizing iOS to its maximum capabilities.
From everything we have heard and read about the iPhone 6 and its larger cousin, the iPhone 6 Plus, the OS performance is silky smooth!
