Apple iPhone 5s GPU tested, twice as fast as the iPhone 5 unit


Apple announced a brand new chipset for the iPhone 5s – the Apple A7 – and in traditional Apple fashion proceeded to give very little detail about it. The company promised 2x performance increase over the iPhone 5 in CPU and GPU performance (and 40x over the original iPhone).
There was very little on the GPU front – OpenGL ES 3.0 support was added and the presenters boasted about the improved graphics, but GPU model remains unknown. The Apple A6 in the iPhone 5 had a PowerVR SGX543MP3, so there's a high chance Apple is using a newer PowerVR or at least one with more cores / at a higher clock rate.
A GFXBecnh 2.5 score confirms the performance has indeed gone up, but the test is getting old now (and uses OpenGL ES 2.0) so we're not seeing the full capabilities of the new GPU (like those fancy lens flares in Infinity Blade III).

GLBenchmark 2.5 Egypt (1080p off-screen)

Higher is better
  • Sony Xperia Z Ultra60
  • Apple iPhone 5S56
  • LG G254
  • Samsung Galaxy S4 (Octa)43
  • HTC Butterfly S42
  • Samsung Galaxy S4 (S600)41
  • HTC One37
  • Google Nexus 432
  • Sony Xperia Z31
  • Sony Xperia SP31
  • Apple iPhone 530
  • Samsung Galaxy S4 mini17

GLBenchmark 2.5 Egypt on-screen

Higher is better
  • Apple iPhone 5S53
  • LG G251
  • Apple iPad 441.5
  • Apple iPhone 541.1
  • Samsung Galaxy S4 (S600)41
  • LG G233.6
  • Apple iPad mini24.3
  • Apple iPad 223.2
  • Apple iPad 321.3
In the 1080p off-screen test, the iPhone 5S shows nearly double the performance of its predecessor. This doesn’t show up in the on-screen test though as the benchmark hits the 60fps screen limit (the test is old and can't stress the GPU at the native 640 x 1136 resolution of the iPhone 5s).
With OpenGL ES 3.0 support on both iOS 7 and Android 4.3 and improving mobile GPUs, we're about to get a lot of eye candy on mobile 3D games.

So what is there to talk about, what is new , what are the sets of features that makes it different from other flagships from competitors and what are the typical Meizu features that are improved upon. Meizu mx 6 uses same design language as the elder brother Meizu pro6 with same unibody metal design and the antennae going all the way to the top and bottom and slightly bending at the bleeding corners . The design look and feel premium , there is certainly nothing wrong in the design even if it is a year older now , but it is in no way outdated . Talking of the front design of the mx6 we have a 5.5 inch full high definition display , no Qhd there, well no need of i
