Apple's iPhone 5s is the first of the company's smartphones to launch with a 64-bit Apple A7 processor, but how does this compare against the iPhone 5? In a new video, we go hands-on with both handsets and pit them head-to-head in a Geekbench benchmark test.
The results are impressive, albeit unsurprising. Compared against the iPhone 5, the iPhone 5s does well, scoring readings of 1394 (single-core) and 2506 (multi-core). These are around double that of the iPhone 5, which scored 721 (single-core) and 1295 (multi-score) in our Geekbench tests.
You can check out the data from the aforementioned benchmark online, here. Below, we've included our hands-on video:

As such, the iPhone 5s is Apple's most powerful handset to date, and a number of iOS applications are expected to take advantage of the smartphone's impressive 64-bit processor accordingly. One such app to have done this already is Infinity Blade III, which received an iPhone 5s-optimizing update recently.
