This fight isn't even about phone hardware anymore.

It comes down to a software issue. Just like the CPU score too. Anandtech proved its 1066 by actually showing you the RAM chips. Like I said in the ing beginning of all this arguing.
Its about software pulling the hardware down.

It isn't acceptable I agree with you there. It'll be fixed. Software can be fixed/patched hardware can't.
Considering I paid ebay price for this phone, not google play store price, I should be even more disappointed. I live in middle east and I ordered all the way from US just to get my hand on it because it was not available in the market unlike all other phones. The limited / none availability is ridiculous as well. How hard is it to manufacture few million units? It seems they only supply few thousands at one time and this is why i have to buy from ebay.

They showed you the motherboard and all the chips and gave you detailed specs in the post I linked. What more do you need?
I don't think anyone would argue that. Can we get back on topic? Or is this thread dead?
Where? Which link? I probably have missed it.
Not only youtube videos but also benchmarks and real world gaming performance which I have seen from my own eyes and as well as youtube is full of it. Disappointing performance from a so called next gen CpU
Then get a Note 2 and be happy.
In 6 months when the next version of Android comes out the Nexus is GUARANTEED to get it. The Note 2 will probably get it, 3 months later.
Then 6 months after that another version of android will be released. Guess what? Nexus will get it. Note 2 won't. But wait, you'll have moved on to a new phone by then? It still won't run the most current version of Android, unless you get another Nexus. In which I expect a thread just like this to pop up from you.
I still can't figure out how it's so hard to understand that 4.2 doesn't equal just the Nexus 4 and that optimizing for new framework vs optimizing for new hardware are different things.
You brought up RAM. RAM wasn't part of the original discussion. The hardware was. And the HARDWARE is superior. Look at the white papers for both chips and you'll see that it's more advanced.
Real world performance that you're so keen in bringing up isn't just about hardware.
Yes, the Optimus G is held back by software. Samsung has had more time to optimize for its much older Exynos chip than anyone has for the brand new S4 Pro.
But I guess the idea of driver optimization escapes you. That would be the closest computer analogy I can come up with. That's why GPU performance of computers can improve. They optimize the software for the hardware.

The S3 on Touchwiz was not fast....My friend and I both (I don't own it) noticed a big difference in performance after I put CM10 on it when the nightlies first came out. Project butter did wonders for his phone.
The touchwiz Jelly Bean update made a noticeable performance improvement on my coworkers S3. He noticed it, and isn't a phone geek.
Software matters. If for no other reason than security patches. There are also new features, like Google Now. With all the bloat of Touchwiz, though, it might not be noticeable.
