There seems to be a heated debate going on right now between diehard fans of Apple and those that give their loyalty to Android, with both sides claiming to boast the better phone. It’s looking like iPhone fans can claim victory, at least in the performance department.
Geekbench was able to put the iPhone 5’s new A6 processor through a hardware benchmark test, and according to their results, the iPhone outperforms Samsung’s golden child – the Galaxy S III.
A benchmark score is a number representing how a device performs overall under several different tests. The higher the score, the better the device performed. Check out the chart, which shows that the iPhone 5 achieved a higher score than the Galaxy S III.
Also, the Galaxy S III processor tested here is the quad-core version. The U.S. version of the phone has an even slower processor.
