So, since a a5's gpu is 7x better than an a4 (in one year) I'm thinking they'll be fast enough about the time user's 4s's contracts are up.

Of course, that's assuming there aren't any javascript-on-the-phone performance enhancements to be had. Also, it's assuming apple will someday open up webgl on the phone.

This is the wrong mindset. Just because you can implemented some specialised idea of video games that dates back more than a decade is nothing to be optimistic about. What about the next innovative idea? There are some things you need raw CPU power for.
