The SunSpider Javascript benchmark test has been run on the new iPhone 5 and it shows impressive speed improvements, reports AnandTech. The iPhone 5 scored 914.7ms compared to 2250ms for the iPhone 4S and 1442.9ms for the Samsung Galaxy S III.
SunSpider is quickly outlasting its welcome as a smartphone benchmark, but it does do a great job of highlighting issues with the Cortex A9's memory interface. Intel originally hinted at issues in the A9's memory interface as being why Atom was able to so easily outperform other ARM based SoCs in SunSpider. As we surmised in our A6 Geekbench post, it looks like Apple specifically targeted improvements in the memory subsystem when designing the A6's CPU cores. The result is the fastest SunSpider test we've ever recorded on a smartphone - faster even than Intel's Atom Z2460.
I agree, in today's world, the only winner of the benchmark race is whichever one came out last. Still, it's kind of nice to turn what everyone else has been ranting about for the past year on it's ear, that the Android phones are inherently faster and better.
Performance benchmarks are always interesting because they vary so much between tests. Geekbench tested the iPhone 5 and found it to be slower than the Galaxy SIII
here's the glass that you want --

apple uses alkali-aluminosilicate sheet glass for the iphones.
that kind of glass is the same glass that is what you call gorilla glass.
LOL, I love how guys are going on about the iPhone 5. Before the iPhone 5 you were 16th in the list just BTW. The same is going to happen when a new Galaxy is released, it will be faster than the iPhone 5 for a couple of months. It's just how tech cycles work.
So what's ur point? That after S4 and S5 are released after 6mos in between, iP6 will then be released a yr from now with far more better performance? Then repeat all over again? I'll just then spend once a yr with iP than spend every less than a yr in a feature-fat junk Sx.
My point is that the latest product released will (or rather should) always be at the top of the benchmark sheets. Your only argument is that the Galaxy has too many features.... you make me laugh.
Nice, I guess they did improve the phone more than we know.
I can't really get the fact that it's so thin and so fast, i guess apple knows exactly what people need rather than what they want. lol
