Very nice... But I'll wait for a LTE compatible iPhone (or I guess if at some point my iPhone 4" regular" gets broken)
Well as the article mentions, it's something that overclockers and hardcore PC enthusiasts have known for ages... efficiency is more important than raw cycles. Even at 200MHz (or more) slower than some of the other dual-core CPUs out there, the A5 is obviously more efficient. But out-performing the current crop of phones is one thing... the real test will come when the new smartphones are released. The new Droid HD / RAZR / whatever it's called and the Nexus Prime will be announced this coming week and released in a couple of weeks, so that's the real watermark for the new iPhone.
