Apple's A9. There was a lot of skepticism at RWT when Tim Cook announced it was 70% faster than the A8, but between the big clock rate increase and IPC improvements, it really was 70% faster per not only Geekbench but Anandtech's detailed testing as well (back in the good old days when they used to actually do reviews of new Apple SoCs instead of saying "its coming" for months and then nothing)
