That page is a chart of results for many of the previous models. As one can see, the iPhone 5's results are 2.55x better than the iPhone 4S. However, that should be taken with a grain of salt since we only have one iPhone 5 result.

Those data are "calibrated against a baseline score of 1,000 (which is the score of a single-processor Power Mac G5 @ 1.6GHz)".
Here's benchmarks from a year ago (iPhone 4S): http://www.anandtech.com/show/4951/iphone-4s-preliminary-ben...

There's more context and links here: http://www.macrumors.com/2012/09/16/iphone-5-benchmarks-appe...

TL;DR: iPhone 4S scores 623, iPad 2 scores 751. The iPhone 5, linked here, hits 1,601, according to Geekbench.
