My GS2 with an S3 processor, which is being called one of the worst dual-cores, can pinch to zoom 100% lag free... So I doubt the legitimacy of your statement.

Since when GS2 had S3, nice try but you got it wrong fanboy..

The US version has an S3 for HSPA+ 42 and LTE compatibility, which the Exynos 4210 was not capable of. The S3 processor is found in the T-Mobile and a special AT&T version of the GS2. Don't call me a fanboy, that's kind of not true.

That was the Sony Ericsson Arc with an S2 processor they were using in the demonstration, not an S4. That's why in end of the video they said that the competition is 3 years behind, because the S2 is 3 years old...

its a first generation chip. Its bound to suck. Intel is trying to squeeze big x86 tech into an ARM playing field. This isnt the first time they have tried that... and they have failed every time.

This is Intel's first chip in the mobile industry... Comparing it to the S4 Pro quad would be like comparing the Tegra 650 to the Exynos 4412, it just doesn't work.

Now, for the Razr-i, they did a pretty good job. It scored close to its S4 brother (Razr M) in most benchmarks, despite being a single-core chip. Also, the fact that it can be clocked up to 2 GHz is amazing, while the quad S4 Pro can only be at a max of 1.7 GHz if I'm not mistaken.

Give Intel a year or two to advance, they'll be a major competitor soon enough.

Facepalm..
XPERIA ARC/ARC S IS OFFICIALLY UPGRADED TO ICS.

And I can assure you that it works just as smooth as in this video even on stock gingerbread.
I own one.

oh calm down. I didnt check its update history. So that makes what.. 2 phones with single core and official ICS updates? lol

My SGS1 runs pretty damn flawlessly with ICS and its a single core with 512mb ram as well, so i dont doubt that it can happen. My SGS1 with ICS rom outscores my T2 based JB Rom'ed tablet on benchmarks.

ya, i got that..your point?
i've no beef with that :p
Hummingbird rocks

my beef was with your accusation based on ignorance. snapdragon S2 can run just fine, and the video was credible in that regard.

Where did you fell from?
This isn't even a new "crapdragon" - it's an OLD single core!.

And the irony.. the pinching/scrolling actions actually looked sub-par, based on my experience with the Xperia Arc.
But then again, i use Opera mini and Dolphin - it works buttery smooth, especially on Opera.
