                  Let me say this...

                  Average Joe don't need to know about Dual Core, Multitasking, SoSC, Arm, Snapdragon, etc...They want a good phone for basic use.

                  That's the strong point for Nokia, too much tech for my granny is not good, SG2 for my 8 years old niece is not wise, but a good, durable, phone is....

                  So, Nokia is not wrong with this, in fact, they want to dominate cheap phone market...and they will do it.

                    Tegra 2 and Exynos, on the other hand, have the ARM designed A9 cores. Their differences are very little and are things like cache sizes, not architectural differences.

                    P.S. I'm not talking about SoCs here, but CPUs. If you compare tegra 2 and exynos as whole packages, then exynos is faster, but still not much.

                      question is why would s40 need specs equal to second tier smartphone like galaxy S? I havent heard of any new changes in the OS.

                          Anyway, it is FACT that even the same CPU with the same clock speed on the different SoCs will give us different performance and stability. More or less, but it will!
