Nexus 10 Dual core vs other Quad core processor

[anon(847090)]

Few people looking at the spec of Nexus 10 seem to complain about the dual core processor.
what they don't understand is Exynos 5 Dual processor beats every processor out there in the Market.

Exynos 5, A15 Architecture is the first of it kind which will provide substantially improved performance over the Cortex A9-based chips used in most of today's smartphones and tablets.
The chip also includes ARM's new Mali-T604 GPU designed to power Retina-class displays

I don't think this will be a Ferrari regardless. That resolution is pushing it.

Snapdragon S4 Pro uses 83% less power and benchmark place it only 8% below the Exynos 5.

I have a hard time believing the S4 Pro uses 83% less power. Do you have a source for that?

The exact specific processor used doesn't really matter, at least to anyone that is interested in doing more than straight up measurebating.

As long as it is one of the recent designs it will be "powerful enough." The more important thing is that the processor is "popular." Any processor that has a high number of units in (app purchasing) customer's hands, will be sure to have good support amongst the app developers. If the N10 is priced right, it should have no problem getting dev support.
