I'd say that was slightly factious.

You still benefit from the extra hardware for bursty loads. Eg opening applications, loading webpages etc etc.

And if you actually look at typical mobile phone usage patterns virtually all loads are bursty. This even applies to ultrabooks and thin & lights. As a programmer I almost never run my CPU at 100% for more than a few seconds at a time.

The differance here is that this phone is designed for long loads, ie gaming, others are not so.
