YOU DON'T NEED FREAKING 8 CORES FOR PERFORMANCE. God damn when is this myth about the more corespondent better gonna die? You are just looking at specs and not real world performance.
agreed, it's all about optimization. I've yet to see one single phone claim the title of "lag free smoothness" that sets it clear above the rest. Take note that even the LGOG which is basically the carrier branded LTE version of the N4 with mostly the same hardware has received a lot of praise from Engadget, Verge, and others about the smoothness of it's UI and it's running last year's snapdragon CPU.
Take a long look at almost all of the most recent editorials around the web and you'll notice a lot of them saying the same theme: all of the android OEM's have reached the upper limit of the hardware to run jellybean quickly and they're all trying to compete against each other with built in features and design cues rather than specs. Now more than ever your choice of Android flavors has switched from specs to Touchwiz, Sense, etc. Sadly cameras have entered the battle which I personally find pathetic because most of you are just using it to post pictures of your toenail polish in Instagram anyway :-\
