In the iPhone 5 teardown, can you tell if the A6 Chip inside is a dual-core or quad-core processor (CPU)? I really want to know this. Thanks!

The A6 processor is dual-core CPU. If there’s any other questions you have about the chip, check out our A6 teardown.

Dual core @ 1.02Ghz

And overclocking to 1.3 ghz and underclocking to 500 MHz. Good for the battery life!
