clock speed

At the single core level, Apple shortened the integer pipeline without reducing clock speed.
A5 (APL0498) by Anand-Lal-Shimpi---Brian-Klug (Oct, 2011)
With a shorter pipeline the A5 gets more done per clock, and without decreasing clock speed the A5 inherently achieves better performance at the same clock.
