That should be expected especially since iphone 5 was late in the game. It isnt a flagship if it cant rank with the top dogs.

There was plenty of speculation what kind of CPU powered the new iPhone 5 and in the end it turned out to be a custom Apple design. So, how well did the Cupertino-based company did? According to an unverified Geekbench results, A6more than meets the 2x performance increase Apple promised.
The results are nothing short of amazing - the Apple A6 chipset has two custom cores rated at 1GHz with 1GB of RAM and it easily stands up to quad-core Cortex-A9 and dual-core Krait designs running at 1.5GHz.
The iPhone 5 has more than double the CPU performance of the 4S, beating it in every category that Geekbench tests. The RAM has gotten faster too. Even the A5X in the new iPad can't compete (understandable as A5X only improves GPU performance over the A5).
As for high-end Androids, Tegra 3 based phones like the Samsung Galaxy S III and the HTC One X manage to outperform the iPhone 5 if they are running Android Jelly Bean. Under Ice Cream Sandwich, the performance of the One X drops down to the levels of the iPhone.
The HTC One S and its two Krait cores manage to match the iPhone 5 under Ice Cream Sandwich, so it should come out slightly ahead.
Just for fun, here's a dual-core Pentium 4 541 (Prescott architecture) downclocked to 2.4GHz matching the performance of the iPhone 5. This CPU came out in Q3 of 2004.
If these benchmark results do turn out to be from the iPhone 5 (results can be faked, so take it with a grain of salt) then Apple must have worked some

so its actually slower than phones that are already on the market and this makes it amazing? it gets a crown? Am I the only one that thinks this should be about how slow and outdated this chip is?
What a joke...

all this talk about high benchmarks means nothing, the real test comes in the hand of users, after some apps are loaded, and you begin to try and multi-task. the reason for quad-core phones is to add a bunch of stuff on the phone, and still make it work verry good even when you are multi-tasking. good work apple, but lets wait and see when it gets put to the real test.

AnonD-58527, 17 Sep 2012Be interesting how Windows Phone 8 does.
Thank you E... moreYup, totally agree. That is why I never bought another windows phone after using windows 6 on my old sony ericsson xperia 2. That's the first and last winmo I had.
Jumped over to android and never looked back. Gone are the days that I have to restart my phone.
I'd rather be caught dead using IOS or even Symbian than winmo.

So what if the phone is fast, if you can't get good signal to make calls and send sms, what's the use.
