It is powerful enough, just like note2 is powerful enough to run note3 features. More importantly, even Note1 is "powerful enough" to run Note3 features. So it's BS.
If we do get 4.3, it will be just like 4.3 for Note2; stripped of all note3 features. But that would bring some hope, because we could get the mod with the new features just like we did for the Note2. Maybe this is the reason why the 4.3 is so late for n80xx models. Maybe Samsung is affraid of dev community turning note 2012 into the note 2014 with a simple mod, and shuttering the "not powerful enough" lies to bits.
I seriously doubt actually that we will get anything past 4.1.2. Especially now that the q4 results seem to be bad for samsung. Which is, of course, their own fault. And a result of idiotic policy; trying to keep boat afloat with spitting out more models than they can support. I hope they will change their minds, because I really like the note devices. Nevertheless, n7100 and n8010 will be the last Sammy devices for me, if they keep up like this.
