Hi Scott, >From all I read and heard the A6 is not a Quad Core and may not even have a Quad Core GPU (graphics processing unit) as is the case with the A5X which is in the new iPad. Here is a link to an article, it's a bit technical, but it makes it clear that we don't know exactly yet what the specs are until one of those places that takes things apart really takes a closer look. Apple certainly did not say at their event, they did not even say or emphasize that the iPhone 5 has 1 Gig of RAM, I think most people expect it does, but Apple to my knowledge has not confirmed this. The article makes it clear that the number of Cores, and Neil pointed this out already, is definitely not the only benchmark for getting better overall performance and also that battery life is a big factor when it comes to decisions on which CPU is chosen. The size and architecture of the CPU apparently are even more important than how many Cores it has and apparently the iPhoen 4S, for example, runs only at about 800 Mhz clock speed with its A5 CPU and yet it's considered to be one of the faster phones out there, it's very snappy and responsive. Just as an example, I once tested an LG phone 3 years ago which had a 1 Ghz Snapdragon CPU with Windows Mobile 6.5 and MobileSpeak, it was a touch screen phone with slide-out keyboard and it was unbelieveably sluggish. OK, Here is that link:
