The evolution of the chipset is impressive and is that the architecture ARM has come a long way these years, so much so that currently in specific cases we can say that it outperforms Intel desktop solutions. So much so that the new Apple A9 CPU that integrates both the iPhone 6s and the 6s Plus, outperforms the new low-power Intel chipset in mono-core performance that are present in the "new" MacBook.
We know this thanks to a user who has received her iPhone 6 in rose gold early and who is neither short nor lazy and has gotten to work to analyze with all kinds of details this device as for synthetic benchmarks it means. Subsequently, he has published data on the results using the everlasting GeekBench test for this task, which has yielded less interesting data.
In fact the figures suggest that this year's iPhones are on par with and even outperform the 12 ″ MacBooks released this year as well. Recall that these teams integrate the new Intel Core M in versions ranging from 1,1 Ghz to 1,3 Ghz and yet the most powerful version is lower in single-core tasks compared to the iPhone 6, as you can check in the image above.
All this taking into account that these iPhone models exceed 2400 points, staying more or less on par.

However in multi-core tasks, the iPhone lags behind with 4795 points when the most powerful MacBook 12 ″ at 1,3 Ghz exceeds 5200 points. Always keeping in mind that the comparison is with the most powerful model since if we go to the MacBook entry range, the iPhone 6s would be quite above.
At this point we can begin to glimpse the future of computing devices through the phrase of Tim Cook when referring to the iPad Pro, when he declared that this would be the future of personal computing.
