This may well be. I'm really surprised about how the dual-core A6 seems to beat the 1.5 GHz dual-Krait CPUs in Geekbench at a significantly lower clock rate (which also includes 1.2 GHz). I didn't expect that. This would mean the per-clock performance of the A6 core to be significantly higher than Krait's, and thus maybe even Cortex-A15's.

I doubt the A6 will clock higher than 1.2 GHz in the iPhone. Maybe later in the next iPad, as the tablet form factor allows for a bit more power consumption.
