When Apple presented the new models of Apple Watch the last 7 of September, us spoke much more than the Apple Watch Series 2, something understandable if have in has that is the model of this year and that has a price higher. The main differences are a brighter screen, GPS, greater resistance to water and a new SiP. But, this mean that Apple Watch Series 2 is more potent than the Apple Watch Series 1?
SiP of Apple Watch Series 1 processor was updated to add a second nucleus and renamed S1 to SP1, while the Apple Watch Series 2 is called S2. Taking in has it improves annual in the processor of the iPhone, all us did think that the model more recent would be much more powerful that the presented in 2014, but a video posted by Jeff Benjamin, ex of iDownloadBlog and current editor of 9to5Mac, us makes think that, as regards power, both watches smart is behave equal.

When they spoke of the new Apple Watch Series 1, they said that they had added the same dual processor core that was present in Series 2, but they said so in passing that many understood that the update had been that had also included a second core to him, that was not the same. As you can see in the video, both models behave more or less the same, sometimes one carries out the tasks before, and sometimes the other, but the differences are minimal.
Apparently, the S2 to Apple Watch Series 2 has received a new name because it includes a GPS receiver in its interior, but it has the same power as the Apple Watch Series 1. Apple Watch processors are actually a system SiP (System in Package), which means that inside is included the CPU, GPU, RAM and other components, such as GPS in Apple Watch Series 2.
Logically, without making another type of test, as one in which we see the benchmarks, we cannot know if there are any more difference, but the words of Jeff Williams in the keynote make us think there is no them. Knowing this, would even you are interested in the Apple Watch Series 2?
