Over at MacRumors they have an article reporting on benchmarking results from PrimateLabs.
The iPhone 5 comes in with a total score of 1601. The iPad 3, by contract, is 766.
Mine’s on order.
Brad, do you mean to be comparing the iPhone to the iPad? And do you mean "by contrast"?
To me, it looks twice as long as 4S as well.
Which one are you going to get, black or white?
It's their most recent device, and faster than the 4s, so it's a valid basis for judging how big of a leap the performance is.
