Doesn't this iPhone 4 Geekbench Report Look Impossible?

I just happened to be scanning the latest Geekbench results that are submitted worldwide and saw an odd score from an iPhone 4 come in. The iPhone 4 will typically turn in around 390ish and the 4S around 625. What's with this 770? Shouldn't that be impossible?

Okay, here's my theory. I think this is an iPhone 5 disguised to show as an iPhone 4. And it's running an A5X chip at the full 1ghz. This could be the first look at the iPhone 5 benchmark. Comparing this iphone 4 Geekbench test to an ipad 3 side by side and you can see how similar they are.

I think this is an incident similar to the iPhone 4S photo's getting uploaded to Picassa revealing the 8mp camera. Only this is juicier.

If this is an iPhone 5 it shows that Apple is potentially looking at NOT underclocking the processor like it has in the past. This could mean that Apple has made some battery breakthroughs.

Either that or someone physically transplanted an ipad 3 SoC into an iphone 4. Which in itself would be pretty cool.

I guess it is possible but I just can't see Apple letting such information get out.
