Early benchmarks for the new Apple iPod touch have already surfaced online. TechCrunch managed to run Geekbench on the device, revealing an A8 processor that is clocked slightly lower than the one on the iPhone 6.

The processor appears to be running at 1.10GHz per core, vs the iPhone 6’s A8 processor, which clocks in at 1.39GHz. The Geekbench scores clock in at 1379 and 2440 right out of the box with as much idle state as I could manage. This means that the iPod touch A8 processor is under-clocked slightly from the iPhone 6, which is not surprising given the battery constraints I mentioned above. It also appears to have 1GB of RAM.

The new iPod also features an M8 motion coprocessor, 802.11ac wireless connectivity and Bluetooth 4.1.
