My iPad Mini serial shows a processor speed of 1.23ghz and iPad 2 (latest model) shows 1.0ghz. From the chipmunk serial thingy. Thoughts?

Yeah, OP, spill the beans, what's your source? Some kind of black magic???

Saw the same thing earlier this morning when I checked my build week. I'm not sure how accurate this site has been in the past for specs but it wouldn't surprise me if they clocked it a bit higher to offset it's age.
The OP has entered his serial number in at chipmunk.nl and the info given is as follows
Mine, for example
They appear to be an Apple reseller/repair agent from what I can make out. I presumed they are linking into an Apple database for those details.
I have yet to see an error with their info.
From everything I've read, the A5 in the iPad mini is a little smaller than in the iPad. Because of the smaller size, it is naturally quicker for transporting data. How I saw it explained is like you driving to your local grocery store. It currently takes 20 minutes to drive to this store. If you would move 10% closer (just like a chip getting 10% smaller), then your drive would be 18 minutes at the same speed. Therefor, quicker without driving faster. Make sense?
It's be interesting to read the benchmark tests when they come out.
Interesting, so does this mean that it is faster than iPad2, and better in every way(apart from the screen size)?
yup, 1.23 GHZ on mine too. Good news! and yes, if only it had more RAM as well.. although that seems rather unlikely.
I was wondering the same thing! hahaWhere do you guys find serial numbers on your order?
I just checked my serial number as well and it's showing the same. I'm very excited to know the A5 is clocked at a higher speed if this is indeed true (I'm believing it thus far).
