iPhone 3G S Benchmarks and Comparisons: Up to 4x Faster than 3G
Anandtech performed formal benchmarks between the iPhone 3G, iPhone 3G S, Palm Pre and Android G1 to see which was the fastest in web rendering and app launching. The site found a 122% speed improvement in web rendering in the iPhone 3G S over the iPhone 3G and a 22.6% improvement in the 3G S over the Palm Pre in the same testing. The iPhone 3G S was also the leader of the pack in app launching with 14-72% improvements over the iPhone 3G.
Meanwhile, Tap Tap Tap found that the framerate (video) of their currently unoptimized but graphics intensive Plasma application runs about four times faster on the iPhone 3G S than the iPhone 3G:
As the video shows, in our OpenGL ES testing, the 3GS is generally close to four times faster than the 3G. Results will vary depending on the application but this is remarkable to say the least. Plasmas pretty heavy on particle animation and fairly CPU intensive.
Finally, the developer of AirCoaster 3D [App Store] a roller coaster simulation application put together this comparison video showing the dramatic difference in performance of a particularly complex track on the 3G and 3G S.The differences in performance are expected to be even more significant once developers start taking advantage of the advanced graphics capabilities found in the iPhone 3G S.

one would have thought Apple would have talked about this a little more...
I think putting the word 'speed' in the name of the phone was a good start.
Hmmm... Starting to think I should get one now. Hopefully I'm upgrade eligible.
You can check at ATT's website. I'm not until Dec even tho I got the 3G on launch b/c my monthly bill is under 99 a month
Lucky bastards those 3GS owners...
Still not enough to make me want to pay $700 for one, I'm looking forward to next years revolutionary iPhone (that will hopefully spank everything out there ;) )
im calling BS
i understand it's faster.. really i do..my girlfriend upgraded her shattered screen 3G yesterday for a 32gb GS..
When i asked if it was faster.. she simply shrugged and said, "a little bit yea".
When the windows of range go from 14-70%, credibility is lost for me.
before you grab your blowtorches and try to flame me to a crisp understand that I eventually will be upgrading my 3G to the GS when i feel like it.
Since im of the many jailbreakers the storage capacity is the most (perhaps only) intriguing upgrade i have seen to be noteworthy.
lol @ speed enhancements going from up to 2x faster to 4x faster in a weekend.
okay...

I played with one over the weekend and it's definitely faster. I don't know if I would call it 4x or 2x or whatever but the big deal is that it's very, very noticeable and nice.

Apple iPhone 3G S Check your upgrade eligibility just dial *639#
okay...

Oh yes, 14-70% is definitely accurate. After one weekend with mine I am sufficiently blown away.
