I can't seem to find Ghz or RAM numbers.
I assume its 1.2Ghz underclocked to 1Ghz + 1GB RAM?
Can anyone confirm?

iPhone 5 full specs not out yet

Probably because it wont make a difference whether its quadcore or not. iPhone aint about the specs, its about the experience.
heh.
Dad bought about 100 in 06, transferred 25 to me in 08, still got em all.

It's already well documented that the new phone is noticeably faster than the 4/4S. It doesn't matter what the exact specs are if you're already a satisfied iPhone user and are stepping up to the new model.
We already know its faster than the 4s. Can't make a direct comparison to other devices anyway.
You're referring to the .0001% of buyers who care? The rest don't. My wife likely thinks it's full of rainbows and pixie dust - if she thinks about it at all.
What else is new? Apple never releases detailed specs on their iOS devices. It has a customized A6 processor, which we think is a Cortex A15. We think it has 1GB of RAM since the old one had 512MB. We know it has a Qualcomm chipset based on the FCC filings. But beyond that, it's mostly just speculation until someone tears it down. What kind of processor or how much RAM a phone has just isn't that important to most people.
How much RAM and what kind of processor does your dishwasher have, or the automatic transmission in your car? That's what a phone is like to most people.
Why does it matter? So you can apply the megahertz myth?
Even if it was clocked at 200MHz, as long as it's super-fast in real-world usage, that's what matters. Even an iPhone 3GS (single core at 600MHz) ran iOS more fluidly than any Android phone (including dual/quad core ones at up to 1.4Ghz) pre-Jelly Bean/Project Butter.
Let's wait for benchmarks, those are way more useful than just raw numbers. Apple already gave us a couple compared to the 4S and historically their benchmarks have been pretty accurate, even more controversial ones like the A5X vs Tegra 3 comparison. Supposing they are not lying, the iPhone 5 will be the fastest phone on the market both in CPU and GPU for a while.
Anyway, if you really want to know just for the heck of it, Anandtech's estimate is that it's a dual-core Cortex A15 based on Samsung's 32nm LP HK+MG process running at 1GHz. RAM will probably be 1GB.
