Being ignorant is okay. Being ignorant and acting knowledgable is not. If you're going to understand hardware, you should start by reading Anandtech. This iPhone 5 review has 5 or so pages on the A6, precisely because it isn't an A9-based SoC. Start here:

Well, my mistake. Looks like is fully custom. I'll update this if/when there are true benchmarks comparing these units as I'm sure there will be.

Well, smbu2000 already posted the GPU benchmarks, but there are some CPU benchmarks of the Nexus 10 versus the iPhone 5 here:

http://www.anandtech.com/show/6425/google-nexus-4-and-nexus-10-review

The CPU in the iPad 4 is apparently clocked at 1.4 GHz, so we can expect it will be ~8% faster than the iPhone 5 on those charts, but right now it looks like a wash. The Swift substantially outperforms the A15 in Sunspider and Browsermark, then turns around to take a clobbering in Google and Mozilla's benchmarks.

I'm hoping Anand can dig a little deeper and give us a look at the power profile of that A15.
