Thanks to the early delivery of some German iPhone 4S devices, the first benchmarks of the A5-powered phone are now in. According to these early tests, it looks as if the new A5 processor in the iPhone 4S is running at 800MHz—slightly slower than the iPad 2’s 1GHz A5 processor, but 68 percent faster than the iPhone 4’s 800MHz A4 processor.
So the iPhone 4S is nearly as fast as the iPad 2, and a lot faster than the iPhone 4. What a turd.
