me and my uncles go back and forth all the time about technology and he recommended me to have a look at the link on 9To5mac or Mac rumors, i can't remember but it was a apple fanboy dedicated news website and with the iPhone 5 coming out, The most obvious thing that most of all tech bloggers do is play with it, get a feel and have a review ready for it to be published in the tech world, but something that they've started doing in the last 10 months is test the benchmark of the device.
What's a benchmark? well i'll tell you, A benchmark is pushing something or someone until they can't run anymore or perform those tasks anymore, Well in technology terms this means, pushing the CPU/CPU to it's highest potential to see what it's capable of. A few months ago they started comparing Benchmarks with the HTC One X and the Galaxy nexus and many other android phone.
Obviously for months the HTC one X beat every phone/tablet due to it's Quad-Core Tegra 3 chip set and then like everything else in technology, something else comes out that destroys the competition, The Galaxy S3 was that something, Samsung recieved a Quad core Exynos Chip and absolutely blew the HTC one x out of the water. Well as the years go by and technology gets forever smaller and better then arrives the iPhone 5 with an A6 chip. First thing is that the A6 chip is only dual core and you might be thinking it's rubbish since it doesn't fit with today's criteria of chip sets. Well that's where you're wrong, the iPhone 5 beat the benchmark of the Galaxy S3! a Quad core phone got beaten by a Dual core.
Ever since i've been interested in technology, i've always said for Desktops and laptops, Specifications matter but when it comes to phones and tablets, they don't need a very powerful chip to run. All you need is a Great ecosystem where the CPU/GPU can live harmously with the operating system and this is where apple has got it right.
Thanks for reading
