Looks like today's morning's firmware leak turned up some well hidden details about the iPhone's hardware engine -- and also confirming some reports we'd previously received. From what we can tell, it looks like the iPhone's got a 620MHz ARM chip running under the hood. Specifics:

ARM1176JZF chip with TrustZone (enables trusted computing environment for media, apps, network, OS, etc. -- very bad for hackers)
Comes in 620 and 320MHz varieties -- no way the iPhone would be on 320MHz
ARM Intelligent Energy Manager (claimed to reduce power consumption 25-50% in portables)
16K / 16K cache
Features vector floating point coprocessor ("for embedded 3D-graphics")
ARM Jazelle enabled for embedded Java execution (hmm...)
SIMD, high perf integer CPU (8-stage pipeline, 675 Dhrystone, 2.1 MIPS)
0.45 mW/MHz power draw (with cache)

I hope Spidermite didn't get an iPhone... You know what... cancel that! I can't wait to see this thing opened!

I would imagine that a number of people will be taking it apart to see what they are really made of and to see what changes can be made from their perspective without caring about warranties.

It already has been opened. Do you mean in the literal sense?
