Apple?s A9 SoC Is Dual Sourced From Samsung & TSMC
I got my SE four days ago and was not really impressed with the battery life with the Samsung SoC under heavy usage.
Lucky me, I was able to get another SE from eBay which was only one day old but had the TSMC SoC.
So I went to do some GeekBench3 battery tests. Surprise, surprise (or maybe not so).. TSMC doesn't strain the battery like Samsung does. We can pretty much say that the "u" in N69uAP stands for "
under performing". Testing was done three times on both phones. Both phones got their system restored completely through iTunes and loaded with the same iCloud backup prior of testing. Both phones had no SIM card and were not connected to WiFi during the tests. No apps other than GeekBench3 itself were running during the tests. Screen dimming option of GeekBench3 was used.
