For discussions sake, lets say it is the same CPU subfamily. Then I would assume it uses newer technology since it is 6 months younger. Of course, that is just my assumption, since the Aura has to push twice as many pixels as the Glo, and a 25% increase in CPU clock speed probably wouldn't result in 'faster page turns'.
I've noticed it's page turn speeds are being compared to the Touch in various places (just one example 'cos I happen to have it open; too lazy to browse my history for the other refernces), which would definitely cover that 25% cited increase in page turn speed (most places just cite the number against other ereaders - but not specific ereaders).

EDIT: Frankly, until I see a comparison video with an Aura HD and a Glo, both set to refresh on every page, I'm just going to assume that it's either just marketing hype or shennanigans (by comparing its speeds to the Touch or other previous-generation ereader instead of the Glo).
