iPhone 5 Sunspider Javascript Benchmark 0.9.1

The first iPhone 5 reviews and benchmarks are appearing all over the internet. AnandTech published the first SunSpider Javascript Benchmark for the iPhone 5. And boy does it crunch Javascript code! The iPhone 5 is the first to hit three digits, by crunching the test code in 914.7ms. For comparison, the international (quad-core) Samsung Galaxy S III needed 1442.9ms with the stock browser.
