iPhone 4S vs iPhone 4 Speed Benchmarks

2011-10-11
what's up guys it's Lu here this is unbox therapy and as you probably know things are heating up in relationship to this iPhone 4s that we're all expecting this week for delivery and the reason is because we got some preliminary numbers some benchmarks hitting the web that are basically putting this iPhone 4s at the top of the food chain as far as speed and graphics performance for a handheld now whether you're comparing apples to apples in the case of the 4 - the 4s or Apple's to androids this device has basically impressed anybody who's looked at these benchmarks now very quick disclaimer benchmarks are not the be-all and end-all there are oftentimes things at play that don't necessarily show up in the figures for example browser optimizations so on and so forth and benchmarks are generally a representation of a software and hardware relationship so the software differences in the iOS platform and and the Android platform are going to lead to slightly different results so keep that in mind when we look at this figures but if you're expecting an iPhone 4s or considering one you are definitely going to be impressed by what we're about to see especially considering that the 4s carries an 800 megahertz a5 and and some of the Android competitors are rocking significantly higher clock speeds so we're looking at an antique calm awesome sight in relationship to benchmarks etc and what he's done is he compiled a list of the different benchmarks available on the web he's made it real clean and easy to look at so this is where you're going to want to go if you want to examine these figures further but I'm gonna give you the rundown necessary right here so the very first benchmark we're going to look at is the SunSpider JavaScript benchmark this is a browser performance benchmark talking about how quickly you're going to load web pages so on and so forth the overall performance in a browser and as you guys can see the iPhone 4s is is pretty high up there though there's one device that's faster and that's the Galaxy Tab 10 9 which is running honeycomb and that's a full-fledged tablet of course but in comparison to the iPhone 4 you can see that the eye for us is almost twice as fast in the browser obviously lower figures in this particular benchmark indicate better performance as we move down the list we've got another browser performance benchmark this one from right where and in this case higher figures are better as you can see the 4s tops the entire list again almost twice as fast as the iPhone 4 which we've got down here and almost twice as fast as a number of different Android devices something to keep in mind is that these Android devices are going to improve on this benchmark figure when they do get new software at this point the software they're running is pretty old and everybody's expecting Ice Cream Sandwich very soon which is going to improve some of these figures probably bring them closer to where this Galaxy Tab 8.9 is scoring obviously running 3.1 a little bit further down we've got geek bench now geek bench is an overall sort of computing benchmark it's going to give you a general computing score that's day-to-day processing etc and as you guys notice here the iPad 2 is still significantly faster obviously it's got that higher clock speed at 1 gigahertz instead of 800 megahertz but not not a hell of a lot faster than the iPhone 4s and the iPhone 4s has basically doubled the iPhone 4s figure here as well same thing goes in the processor integer performance you've got a similar relationship between the iPad 2 and the iPhone 4s and you've got that doubling in performance from the iPhone 4 so again if you've used an iPhone 4 exclusively for the last year or so then this thing is likely going to feel a little bit faster in daily use you're actually going to notice this this is not something that's just going to show up on a benchmark you're gonna notice something that feels a little bit snappier a little bit smoother or so on and so forth and the last thing we want to talk about of course is graphics benchmarks everybody wants to know how can the thin game and as you might guess it's similar to the rest of it rest of the benchmarks the iPad 2 being at the top again it's kind of it's kind of strange to compare an iPad 2 in this category because you can't stick it in your jean pocket but it's there in case you've used an iPad 2 then you know kind of what to expect from a performance standpoint and once again in relationship to the iPhone 4 this is where we're seeing a big big improvement you know some have suggested 7 times it's almost 7 times are almost exactly seven times performance improvement from Apple's a4 chip all the way down here at the bottom of the list here's the phone I'm using right now the Nexus S and as you guys can see I mean we're on a different planet with these figures so we'll have to wait and see how the new Android software bring some of these Android of what device is closer but as of right now graphics CPU web browser you name it this thing is coming off impressive and it's all the more reason to be excited for the release as I told you guys before I will be in line like a crazy man I'll cover the entire lineup as well as what's going on at the mall and so on and so forth on this channel here I'll be reporting and as soon as I get it you know whether I got to pay somebody in line or whatever the hell I got to do to get it on this Chen I'm gonna do that for you I'm gonna put together the highest quality unboxing and review as quickly as humanly possible so as soon as I get it I rush back home you got the idea so definitely stay tuned to the channel if you haven't subscribed yet you're gonna want to do so because as I said before I'm gonna get that thing up here as soon as possible so you guys can get real up close and personal with that new device anyway guys as always I want to thank you for watching and supporting my content you guys make this stuff possible and until next time I'll see you around all right later guys
