    Aren't A# processors dynamically clocked? So, if more power is needed, speed increases and vis versa? Just a concept guess.

    Where do you see 1.3 GHz?

    The A6 is clocked at 1GHz but dynamically overclocks itself to 1.2 GHz for heavier tasks. The recommend speed of the A6. But it is underlocked to 1 GHz.

    Oh. I see the source didn't take a video of it running 1.3 GHz.

    Seriously? "Just a concept guess." Tkf1 also sort of reiterated what I was thinking:
