And I bet your sandy CPU had active cooling. The A13 tops out at 2.7GHz because that's what Apple decided was safe for a passively cooled phone. I don't doubt that it could run at 4.5GHz in a desktop package, with a proper fan and heatsink.

I'm pretty sure you can't take a, say, 2.something ghz U-series intel i7 CPU and make it go a lot beyond 3ghz
