I wonder why you're even comparing Vita to the iPhone 5, a phone that isn't even the most powerful phone out there apparently. Try Galaxy SIII

Galaxy S3 (which one, the USA, 2 core, or the European one, 4 core) is maybe faster than iPhone5 in the CPU part. The GPU of the S3 is slower, in both versions.

Why are they different in USA and Europe? GPU...It's not like I'm going to game on it, hah!

The American version has a 2 core LTE chip, the European version has a 4 core HSPA+ chip. Samsung does not have a 4core SoC with LTE, so they used a 1.5 GHz MSM8960 Dual Core Krait that has LTE connectivity on it.

So, is the 4 core more powerful?

I wouldn't say it's more powerful. ARM has different types of licenses, you can use their logic blocks without modification, as some companies like nVidia do using untouched A9s, and you have licenses of the instruction set, and you can do your own core. Krait is a qualcomm core that is wider and out of order, so in some types of work, a dual core Krait is faster than a quad core A9, and in some works, a quad core A9 is faster than a dual core Krait. I would say that a dual core Krait or the A6 made by apple is faster than the quad core used in the European Galaxy 3, as smartphones software isn't as optimized as desktop software to use multi core architectures, and most desktop software can't use more than two cores.
