What's with all the fanboys?

iPhone 5 Benchmarks Appear in Geekbench Showing a Dual Core, 1GHz A6 CPU

you sound like the fox news slogan. I don't care how many macs you own your responses is what makes you a troll.
This thread has made me lose faith in humanity. Who gives a flying #@$%? It's a phone. It's great the performance increase the iPhone is seeing... but these pissing contests are beyond ridiculous. Some of you need to travel the world and see firsthand what impoverished nations are going through and perhaps you'll begin to see what spoiled little knobs you are. Be thankful for what you have and quit trying to compare your e-peens with everyone else. Technology is great, don't taint it by being a douche.
OK, it's faster than a speeding bullet, but how does that help me? Will it make me type faster, or send my iMessages and phone calls faster, or make me taller or better looking? Will the Angery Birds now be able to defeat the pigs? I'm a devoted Apple fan with many of their products, but what's in this speed hysteria for me? Thanks
Talk about jumping the gun! This is just ONE test from what I perceive as an unreliable source. I'm assuming you will buy the iPhone 5, so when you do, run a Geekbench test. You're taking this article way too seriously.
Also, even if the iPhone 5 turns out to be faster than the competitors, this will soon change as a newer device comes out. And you're comparing an iPhone 5, which hasn't even been released yet, to a months-old Samsung phone. It wouldn't be surprising if it was faster. This is no endgame.
Lol... Tell me when it explodes in your pocket
No chance of it blowing up ol' chap. But by the sounds of it, that score just blew your mind.
It means squat. Just like Adobe ending flash support for mobile devices also meant squat for apple fans to have something to boast about.
The problem isnt in the speed, its in the amount of control one has over the product they bought. Unfortunately for many iPhone users, they bought into steve jobs dictating how they should use their phone and more than that either.
So I guess it's safe to say the Macrumors jumped on this story a little to quick before doing it's research. Embarrassing much?
I just love how the blind followers have forever said benchmarks and specs don't mean anything. But on their first chance they jump all over one that gives them the advantage, only to be let down by the truth again. So I'm guessing all the blind followers don't care for benchmarks again after seeing the one below. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!
@Macrumors: Any chance you update the OP in the spirit of full disclosure.

So true, a single result is more likely to be skewed or faked (although with iOS, at least it is unlikely to be overclocked). When there are enough scores to generate a more reliable average, it may have a bit more meaning. But just a bit, since each device runs a different OS. And really, how much computing power do we need in a phone? It's the features, the OS, the ergonomics and the price that will determine which phone is most suited for each consumer.
speed is actually pretty important guy. (less waiting more doing) to dumb it down to a simple statement.
I use my phone for texting, email, google, music and streaming. Mobile gaming doesn't cut it for me. sure gta3 is fun on the iphone but I wouldn't sit down and play it other then to pass some time away from home. i have a x79 system for this.
Steve Jobs is irrelevant. he was entirely closed minded when it came to his crapple company. if it wasn't for him the bump in screen size would have happened long ago.
along with flash support. although that never happened.
that being all said. i am nothing close to a apple fanboy in fact i cant stand apple but from what ive played with in store and friends cell phones.. they make the best "package" when it comes to a cell phone. so i buy their product.
Few key problems I have with this thread:
1.) where is this information actually coming from? In other words, who has their hands on an iPhone 5 that was able to run these tests?
2.) this "fan droids" opened the door nonsense is ridiculous. So what? You point out they are immature and stupid for comparing specs but the you all gladly do the same? Doesn't work that way. The fan droids are idiots. But wait. So are you!
3.) Real world is all that matters. The Juno between 4 and 4s was certainly noticeable. The Juno between 4s and 5 probably will be too. For me, however, the only additional feature that could possibly change anything is the larger screen. A simple speed bump isn't going to be enough to take my money.

Impressive scores from phones all around. Although I thought the SIII was supposed to be quadcore.
Check the OP again, the rest of the scores posted are average scores, not a single benchmark. Which is why comparing those scores to a single iPhone 5 benchmark is silly. Besides which, the comparison is meaningless, since each device runs different software with different hardware requirements.
I feel sorry for people like you who are so angry and immature about something as trivial as this.
If you have an S3, then just enjoy it the way the product was intended. If you don't like iPhone (for whatever irrational reasons you rationalize to yourself), then let iPhone users just enjoy their devices.
It's pretty sad that technology discussions have degraded down to the level of politics and religion. This has always been problem (I remember the pointless bit wars and 'blast processing' nonsense from the Sega vs Nintendo days), but it's really gotten out of hand ever since the iPhone became a hit.
You are right but so is he.
I was wondering myself why so many get exited about 40 points more than the s3.
I never was interested in benchmarks, that's what Iiked here on MR.
this is looking like penis envy.

You said it, are these numbers for real, these number are more than impressive can't even imagine what the iPad 4 number will be but they are getting up there with laptops. Impressive.

I don't know women do like those inches and they tell you so.

You really don't understand their kind do you? They hate what they have, and they hate those that don't also have what they have. They live in a cognitive dissonance all their life which means they have brain disfunction even we don't classify it as such yet.

here is why Apple sold 100 million phones in 9 months: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdIWKytq_q4
The Verizon Galaxy S3 uses a very similar CPU (cortex A9) but it is dual core, like the iPhone5, and it scores 1413 on geekbench
http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench2/1035617
what does that tell us? well, the problem is that this benchmark CANNOT fully utilize all 4 cores of the quadcore CPU in the non LTE version of the GS3.
another thing is that this benchmark doesn't always produce the same numbers. every time you run it, the score moves up and down by as much as 100 points, depending on what process starts or stop in the background. so a score of 1601 over a score of 1560 is not a clear victory. it fact, it means nothing. also note that the iPhone has a 3 month lead on the GS3 and is not even out yet.
All of you iTards getting all wet over a benchmark that shows absolutely nothing are no better than the Fandroids you are making fun of. and some of you even resorted to name calling over a stupid phone for which you are about to pay an insane sum of money for. Do you feel better about yourselves now?
its a phone, you call on it, you open a few apps you use, and you go make real money in your given profession. I like the speed I like the battery life and the look is slick though I still liked all glass back personally. iOS is well done and smooth, and unlike bloatware made by Google not Samsung I am not impressed.

SIII Geekbench results
I just ran Geekbench2 on my SIII (quad core) 3 times.
I got 1880, 1612 (email received during test) and 1903.
The results of the third test:
Integer: 1687
Floating Point: 2875
Memory: 1185
Stream: 697
It is running 4.04 and has been rooted. It has not been modified in any other way.
I understand that it will be faster using Jelly Bean, but I won't know until I have it.
I am not trying to provoke an argument. I am just putting the figures out there.

Did you write this to feel better or to specify something we all know. Its a slick phone that has an ecosystem that rocks. Samsung makes hardware but can't even get an OS up and running so they use bloatware android os.
So do you feel better now, sound like its a religion for you when it comes to either samsung or android. I personally like the iPhone, I really don't care if you don't child, but at the same time I feel sorry for the child who is not happy with what they have.

Sound good, like the numbers but dislike the look and feel of plastic phones. Feels cheap in the hand. Over all if you like it and have no regrets then your fine. QuadCore sound funny, I know its mostly for that live desktop, which does look cool but a bit distracting. How is the battery life. I know its removable. Real battery life not PR version?

I dont think you know what bloatware is.
