Early benchmarks suggest that the iPhone 4 performs slower than the iPad but faster than the iPhone 3GS, according to MacRumors.

The site combined the results of GeekBench, BenchTest, and Checkup to come to this conclusion.

GeekBench: 3GS: 270, iPhone 4: 354 - Geekbench can't run on the iPad; however it determined that the iPhone 4 is 31% faster than the iPhone 3GS.

BenchTest: 3GS: 2.298, iPhone 4: 2.514, iPad: 3.667 - This benchmark only showed a small increase in speed with the iPhone 4, but some of the results seemed strange. All the "seconds" in the iPhone 4 results were listed at 0.00, though a score was still generated. It's hard to say if the results are entirely accurate.

Checkup: 3GS, iPhone 4, iPad - This also showed the trend of iPad > iPhone 4 > iPhone 3GS, but running the benchmark multiple times could result in a large variance.
