The benchmarks are in and it's looking good for the 4S. Not surprising, since anyone who follows mobile chipsets knows the A5 is damn good, especially in the graphics department (better than Mali, Adreno and Tegra 2). Even underclocked to 800MHz in the 4S still has significantly better graphics than processors running at 1.0 to 1.2GHz.

Better yet are the browser benchmarks. iOS 5 now makes the 3GS faster than the 4 was under iOS 4 (37,000 for the 3GS vs 30,000 for the 4). The 4 now climbs to around 51,000 which is a huge increase over iOS 4. Seems like there's more going on in iOS 5 than feature upgrades - there are speed optimizations for the browser as well.
