It is noteworthy that the new iPod Touch with a A8 processor, the A5 can be described as compared to before a huge boost, its performance how much it? Take a look at Ars Technica performance measurement.

Processor performance: lift about 5 times

First, let's look at iPod Touch processor performance 6. It is equipped with a down-version of the A8 processor, clocked at 1.1GHz, compared to the iPhone 1.4GHz A8 about 27% of the 6 clocked shrink. Now, look at the test results of a mainstream testing software running points.

Geekbench 3 single-core test results (higher scores are better)

Geekbench 3 multi-core test results (higher scores are better)

Sunspider JAVA performance test results (scores lower is better)

You can see the test results Geekbench 3 is basically consistent with the processor performance, the strongest iPhone 6 and iPhone 1.4GHz A8 processor clocked at 6 Plus performance, followed by the iPhone 5s A7 processor clocked at 1.3GHz, iPod Touch 6 Since the processor clocked slightly lower, slightly inferior to the iPhone 5s, but not very different.

GFX Bench Metal test results (higher scores are better)

3D Mark: Ice Storm Unlimited test results (higher scores are better)

Not surprisingly, a number of graphical test results are very similar software, iPod Touch 6 performance is slightly higher than iPhone 6 and iPhone 5s, but compared to before, there are a very large increase, smooth running currently on a variety of 3D iOS masterpiece game.

Summary

Obviously, the test results have been fully explained, iPod Touch 6 overall performance and iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus is very close to or even slightly exceed the graphical part, can be said to be a very low price handheld game is a very good iOS entry devices.
