okay, where are you getting your information for the iphone 5's cpu? Nothing has been confirmed.. rumors are stating it's slower than the galaxy S III?


source? I see no videos or otherwise that compare the two phones beyond spec sheet which would have same info I have.

Mine is from AnandTech, wikipedia, and others using Apple's statements from the conference and what is known in the A5X. It really can only be two possible choices... a quad-core A9 (identical to Vita if not faster clock cycle) or a dual-core A15 (better than vita)... and with that, all sources so far say its a dual-core meaning for it to be better than the orginal A5 or A5X it would have to be a lower clock cycle A15.

I know its not confirmed by Apple or from an official breakdown, but no matter what its at least equal to Vita, but with more RAM and likely faster clockspeeds.

If it is the quad A9, then I'll gladly change it, but the end result is the same.

since when is a dual core CPU faster than a quad core? That's what I'm being told by someone on here.. or something ugh whatever

A dual-core on a far more advanced architecture at a higher clock speed can and will be faster than a quad-core.
