The newest chipset by Apple powered up its newest iPhone 6s and 6s Plus as it was 50 percent faster than the previous iPhone model's A8 chip. The A9 processor was proved to perform a mile better than its other rivals.

Tech Times recently reported that the custom A9 processor is about 50 percent faster than the A8 chipset. It carries a dual-core 1.8GHz CPU, making it perform better than its rivals; the Exynos 7420 that can be found on Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge and Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor that powers up the Nexus 6.

Furthermore, Apple Insider discussed on their review that A9 delivers single core performance that makes Apple's entry level iPhone 6s over 90 percent faster than Samsung's fastest Exynos 7 chip used in its Galaxy S6 Edge. Apple's A9-powered iPhone's lineup is also over 133 faster in single core performance than Qualcomm's quad core Snapdragon 805 that the Motorola's Nexus 6 sports, despite the fact that Nexus 6 was being clocked faster and bundling in an additional GB of system RAM.

IBTimes reported that Apple's A9 chipset makes their newest iPhones the fastest in the market as it has been tested by processor benching program. Geekbench said the preliminary testing of Apple's newest A9 processor shows a great improvement over the last year's already fast A8 processor.

The Geekbench's test exhibited that the newly launched Apple phones are 57% faster in performance compared to last year's iPhone 6 Plus. The A9 has improved the new phone's ability for multicore chores by more than 50 percent, and nearly 60 percent for single core tasks.

Meanwhile, the tech giant was noted to have sold 13 million units of the newest smartphones only three days after its launch. The chipset enhancement Apple incorporated to its newest devices may have been a huge factor to the positive reviews and record-breaking sales iPhones 6 and 6 Plus have received.
