sourceThe A6 SoC makes use of a pair of Apple's own CPU cores that implement the ARMv7 ISA. These aren't vanilla Cortex A9s or Cortex A15s, but rather something of Apple's own design. For its GPU Apple integrated a PowerVR SGX543MP3 GPU running at higher clocks than the dual-core 543MP2 in the A5.
As always, our performance analysis starts out on the CPU. Although we originally thought the A6 ran its two CPU cores at 1GHz, it looks like max clocks range between 800MHz and 1.2GHz depending on load. Geekbench reports clock speed at launch, which varied depending on CPU load
The other thing I noticed is that without a network active I'm able to get another ~10% performance boost over the standard results while on a network. The same was true for SunSpider performance, I saw numbers in the low 810ms range before I registered the device with AT&T.

As expected, fastest phone out right now, until the S4 comes out. Absolutely stomps every other phone in GPU performance which is no surprise as iOS devices are huge for gaming.
Youtube and Google Maps have been moved to the App Store.
