iPhone 5 Use an A6 chip which Apple said is 2 times faster than the previous A5 and contains 2 times more graphics processing power, but of course technical specifications were not provided. Even if Apple still remains secretive from this point of view, those from Anandtech supports that the device would use the processors ARM Cortex A15 launched a few months ago by ARM. The company calls them the fastest processors manufactured for mobile terminals and they could be built by Samsung using a 32nm manufacturing process, hence the increase in autonomy.
Apple didn't say anything about core counts and clock speeds, but it did give us a good indication of performance: 2x faster CPU and GPU. Based on the performance gains, Apple's history of SoC naming and some other stuff we've heard recently, it looks like Apple has integrated two ARM Cortex A15 cores on Samsung's 32nm LP HK+MG process. This is a huge deal because it means Apple beat both TI and Samsung on bringing A15s to market. The GPU side isn't entirely clear at this point, but the 2x gains could be had through a move to 4 PowerVR SGX543 cores up from 2 in the iPhone 4S.
Daca iPhone 5 really uses these processors, then the differences between the quad-cores used by Android terminals should be non-existent because the Cortex A15, even in the dual-core version, is an extremely powerful processor. On the graphics side, it seems that Apple would use a quad-core PowerVR SGX543MP4 processor without the dual-core one in the iPhone 4S, but this is just a simple speculation for now. Even without information about the processor, the first hands on videos with iPhone 5 showed an extremely fast terminal that runs iOS 6 without any problems.
