San Diego-based Twitter user @MoonshineDesign received her iPhone 6s early, she benchmarked it using Geekbench, and published all the results on her Twitter account.

If the screenshots are not fake, the new iPhone 6s has a 50% better Geekbench when compared to its older counterpart, the iPhone 6, with the former scoring 2413 and the latter having a score of 1613.

Moreover, from the same screens published by @MoonshineDesign on Twitter, we can see that the iPhone 6 Plus also doesn't have a chance with its meager 1609 score in a face-to-face battle with Apple's new 6s.

The early-received iPhone 6s benchmarks also display a 2292 single-core score, as well as a 4293 multi-core one, which blows iPhone 6's 1642 single-core and 2944 multi-core out of the water.

Just by comparing the difference in Geekbench scores, we can get a quick idea of just how much faster the new iPhone generation really is.

Moreover, to further underline the difference, John Poole, Geekbench's developer, also said on Twitter that "the iPhone 6s and the entry-level 2015 MacBook have approximately the same Geekbench scores."

Also, according to Poole, if the screens are real, "a lot of the A9 performance increase comes from a big clock speed increase (1.8 GHz vs 1.4 GHz)."

Furthermore, to put the difference into numbers, the iPad Air 2 has a score of 1808, and the iPad Air a 1473 one, while the iPhone 5s gets a wanting 1400.

As we can see from the screens, the new iPhone 6s comes with a dual-core A9 1.82 GHz processor and 1.96 GB of RAM, which is the benchmark's way of saying that the 2 GB of RAM in the iPhone 6s rumors were true.
