To put the iPhone 5/A6 in context: The quad-core Galaxy S3 (Exynos 4 Quad, a Cortex-A9 design) has a Geekbench score of around 1800; the dual-core One X (Snapdragon S4, Krait) scores around 1600; and the quad-core Nexus 7 (Tegra 3, Cortex-A9) scores around 1600. We must also bear in mind that Geekbench makes full use of multiple cores, which gives the quad-core chips an unfair advantage — after all, there are few if any smartphone apps that make good use of four cores. In reality, the A6 will probably perform very similarly to the dual-core Snapdragon S4.

So quad core chips have an UNFAIR advantage yet some benchmarks run lower then the dual core...? (all benchmarks done by Geekbench, which you mentioned favors quad core machines)
