Why hasn't anyone proposed that the speed increases are mostly from major OS optimizations ...? This was the first major re-write of iOS since 2007, they could have focused on just making it much more efficient (as they're doing with Mavericks)  |
Because the iPhone 5 has the same dual-core and the same 1GB.
If this was the case the iPhone 5 would be the same speed as the iPhone 5S. But it isn't.
The only thing that's different is that the chip has a different 64 bit architecture than the iPhone 5 & 5C's 32 bit.
So if that's the only difference to the chip, and the specs haven't changed then it has to be the architecture itself. Because unless Apple have a quad core listed as a dual core than it really can't be anything else.
