I agree that they should have compared processors with the same number 
of cores. However, the point these reviewers want to make is that at the 
price it will cost, the Snapdragon will beat what is available at the 
same price from the competition.

I notice they're not looking at battery consumption yet. That's what 
will be the most interesting to me.
