Well there are a number of factors involved, although Apple say upto 50% improvement that could be just filrate, but if the CPU is not feeding the GPU or even the bandwidth from the narrow bus of the phone could be hindering it also. So the 50% will be more or less useless if the CPU and memory bandwidth can't feed it.

lele, 12 Sep 2014Damn. That's a very nice gpu you have there. I'm a android... moreNo, the A7 is Now where near on par with the SD800 lol. My Nexus 5 scores ~3000 on geekbench (SD800). And the 5S with the A7 scores ~2400. The A7/A8 are significantly more optimized, but the equivalent Snapdragons are still superior.

Sad, I was actually going to compliment apple here if they kept the cpu/gpu race running but they only made the effort with the 5S... the camera is outdated, still an expensive phone.. also the benchmarks speak for themselves, anyone complaining about OS lag has clearly not had a flagship device that costs close or the same as an iphone nowadays.. if you haven't yet, give kitkat a try you'll be impressed...
I wish Steve jobs was still around he knew how quality and performance needed to match the price tag

The A7 works great in an iPad retina with an even higher resolution than 1080p so the sightly faster A8 will be fine for an 1080p screen.

iPhone 3G... moreYeah, you're right.

Damn. That's a very nice gpu you have there. I'm a android user but honestly that hexa and a8 is a threat. I've reading last year 5s A7 dual core that can par on quad on soc 800 is really mind blowing. I might buy iphone 6 the price looks good. I'm keeping my note 3 and buy this I6.

For me personally it doesnt matter much what the iPhone 6 can and cannot do, i dont care about any phone at this ridiculous length but im still interested in the Apple A8 because of iPad Air 2.

Well I'm not ever buying this thing but its a given that games are guaranteed to run pretty well on apple devices. They're always optimized to run on their
"low spec" hardware. In fact I don't think it's worth discussing the graphics performance on the new iphone because, honestly, that's the last thing iphone buyers need to worry about.
Lack of ram, full hd screen, ois , higher resolution camera, mediocre battery....these are the things we should be discussing.
