New iPhone 6s test: Chip Gate - much ado about nothing?

Apple denies iPhone 6s-chip gate around the battery in any case strongly, a new comparison of the A9 chips supported the statements of the Group. Accordingly, the battery life in real-world tests differs only minimally - only a benchmark provider falls out of line.

The topic Chip Gate done apparently faster than expected. The different processors in the iPhone and the iPhone 6s 6s Plus would have significant impact on the battery life, it was recently reported. But apparently this concern is unfounded. So Ars Technica has taken the battery life of the iPhone 6s even more closely. Accordingly, it is almost irrelevant in practice, whether the iPhone 6s a A9 chip from TSMC or Samsung does its job. The maturities therefore differ only marginally.

Only a benchmark provider revealed significant differences
Surfing via WLAN, WebGL and GFXBench - all these measurements could not detect any significant differences in terms of battery life. With the exception of a provider: The test of Geekbench 3 a significant deviation has revealed the chip of TSMC is the clear nose against the Samsung component forward. However Geekbench is said that the measure does not correspond to the real use of a smartphone.

The iPhone 6s-chip gate should have done himself
The results from Geekbench were obtained under very high CPU load - and thus were not representative. The Apple had already commented in a statement, this view appeared to share relevant technology pages. In any case, Apple was just the necessary records to reliable information regarding the battery life on the iPhone and iPhone to make 6s 6s Plus. The chip gate is the headlines, although probably still dominate for some time, but ultimately is likely the excitement and indignation be greatly exaggerated.
