It actually seems that iPad is running the same single Cortex-A8 core, although clocked into 1 GHz and probably fabricated using 45 nm process. This is just speculation, but for example the Sunspider test is 1/1 comparable to 3GS (10475/17360=0.603).
So overclocked N900 is pretty much on par with iPad, although the comparsion is pretty dumb as it's a completely different kind of vechile.
Second thing - the Snapdragon. According to a Swedish Android site (http://www.swedroid.se/test-av-acer-liquid-s100) A8 @ 550MHz is faster than Snapdragon @768 MHz. For example BenchmarkPi gives 5500 ms for OMAP3430, and 8300 ms for QSD8250.
It might be a software issue, maybe also related to memory bus or speeds, but in general it seems that for MHz per MHz Cortex-A8 is indeed faster than Snapdragon. Even though the cores share a somewhat similar architecture.
And that makes an overclocked N900 pretty much the fastest smartphone on Earth.

Flashed mine in the morning straigth to 900MHz kernel and DAMN! Fast like i wished this alwaysto be! I have lots of extras-devel stuff installed and all desktops filled with contacts, shortcuts and widgets, crammed up so to speak and this thing is really snappy.
I decided to flash the fw too after the speedboost made me greedy and it helped some and also fixed my annoyingly slow file manager.
After a days use, no increased temp as far as i can tell and the speed boost everywhere makes me a happy owner INDEED.
After the pr1.2 i believe this thing will truly be the king of the hill!
I will at some point try the 950 or 1000 just for the heck of it

also, now that i have had it well over 24 hours and have used 3 batteries ( i use a battery until it dies and in the evening, swap them out to charge completely, then go to bed with one charging)
heat is the same as before, so this is good.
still same heat when on the phone. this is normal
my phone is locked to 3g the entire time, and a lot of wifi (g) yesterday and today.
battery is supprisingly a tad longer IMO. i will have a better idea after the next couple of days.
phone is MUCH snappier and boots MUCH quicker as well.
when i tap my calendar, it used to have to "load" my data and take a few seconds. when i tap it now, it blinks open and is loaded
...same with my contacts (i have 1035 contacts, with most of them w/pictures)
...same with my email...just a little delay now because it is updating 5 imap4 and 1 pop3 email when opening...but after the first opening from boot up is instant (i really wish it would cache what was synced last until next sync, hope this is fixed because it is really annoying)
...same with my conversations....used to "load" now snaps open.

The thread "Overclocking the n900 to .9GHz or even 1GHz?" with eight posts has been merged into this thread.
I'm just mentioning this from the point of view of having comprehensible messages, but I guess that isn't important.
But to give an example, the message starting "wow. That's total news here" seems to refer to the previous message, which has nothing to do with it.
