Apparent iPhone 7 benchmarks hint at big speed improvements

Purported benchmark results for the upcoming iPhone 7 Plus reveal Apple’s next-generation A10 processor could be a big improvement over last year’s A9. Despite maintaining only two cores, the A10 achieves significantly higher scores in single- and mulit-core tests.

According to the result for an “iPhone 9,3,” which is thought to be the iPhone 7 Plus, the device achieves a single-core score of 3,379 in Geekbench tests, while the multi-core score clocks in at an impressive 5,495.
