A9处理器代工厂商不同所带来的性能差异，苹果的官方回应

With the Apple-designed A9 chip in your iPhone 6s or iPhone 6s Plus, you are getting the most advanced smartphone chip in the world. Every chip we ship meets Apple’s highest standards for providing incredible performance and deliver great battery life, regardless of iPhone 6s capacity, color, or model.
你的iPhone 6s或iPhone 6s Plus所搭载的A9处理器是世界上最先进的智能手机芯片。每一个最终产品均符合苹果最高的工艺标准，不论具体型号和颜色，其都提供了令人难以置信的性能和更长的续航能力。

Certain manufactured lab tests which run the processors with a continuous heavy workload until the battery depletes are not representative of real-world usage, since they spend an unrealistic amount of time at the highest CPU performance state. It’s a misleading way to measure real-world battery life. Our testing and customer data show the actual battery life of the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, even taking into account variable component differences, vary within just 2-3% of each other.
就某些实验室的相关测试结果而言，鉴于对处理器性能利用方式和测试用跑分软件的不同，其并不能代表在真实环境中使用所带来的电池消耗，而其也是一个具有误导性的衡量方式。经过我们的测试和用户数据的反馈，在实际使用过程中，即便是考虑到可能的变量，两款（三星和台积电）处理器在电池续航方面的差异也仅有2%至3%。
