I'm guessing it's underclocked to 800 MHz. But with the customization they've been able to do, I wouldn't be surprised if it benches as well as a SnapDragon.
 
could be the same clock as the 3GS since he didn't mention it. He would have brought it up being faster then the 3GS.
 
A4 Processor

I'm really happy to see that iPhone 4 has the A4 processor, but Apple has failed to mention the clock speed (as far as I know, have not seen the keynote yet) which leads me to believe that it is under clocked. Your thoughts?
 
Failure to mention clock speeds doesn't really mean it is under clocked. However, it would not surprise me at all if they did under clock the iPhone.
 
I figure how I look at Apple is that they wont give you too much for your money. I can see that phone NOT being 1GHz, I say this because the new MBP have a I7 chip in them and in the PC world thats a quad core but somehow Apple managed to make it a duo core.....again Apple not giving you much for your money so I figure that if its 31% faster than the 3Gs which is 600MHz I just did the Math of 600 * .31 and got 186 and added that to the 600 for a grand total of 786MHz or they MAY have rounded to 800MHz. Thats my 2 cents though
 
The iPhone 4 will be underclocked because when you do that you achieve better battery life. It will be able to hold its own though, and I believe I saw it having 512 MB of ram.
 
I thought I read a post on here that "confirmed" 1ghz. It was after a tear down or something?

It does in fact have 512mb of RAM.


Edit: They mention 1ghz here:

The Processor core is capable of running up to 1GHZ, is the iPhone running at 1GHz?? doubt it. I think it is underclock to about 733MHz.

Thermal management and Battey life

It may have 512MB RAM but I dont believe its 1GHz, the just assume its that speed because its the same name chip as iPad. Thats just not the Apple way, they wont give that much bang for the buck lol. I learned that when they have a intel Core I7 chip thats NOT a quad core when in a PC its quad all day if you have a I 7
 
Uh?? I have an iMac... 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7

It most certainly is a QUAD-Core???

Yes the MBP I am speaking of because I was going to get one til they said its still a dual core and not quad, the iMac on the other hand does have a quad core in it
