It seems a good chunk of that is not coming from the processor itself, but from other stuff like how fast is the memory, the storage, etc. So it might not have a better processor than Galaxy S3 or Nexus 7, but it may have slightly better storage and RAM memory.


If you compare the stats under "Integer Performance", things like "Blowfish" and "Text Compress" the iPhone 5 is consistently twice as fast as the 4S.

Anandtech is reporting that the iPhone 5 is using dual-channel 32bit LPDDR2 running at 1066MHz, about 33% more peak memory bandwidth than the iPhone 4s.
