There has to be a memory bandwidth limit where the number of cores is rendered moot for quad-core arm7 to be slower than dual-core arm7.
Either that or the test is somehow being fooled, I noticed that benchmark code is updated frequently.

What sort of bandwidth do other mobile chips provide?
edit: Looks more like 1/3 than 1/10, looking at the tests in geekbenchscores. I had the 1/10 figure from looking at Sunspider results (http://forum.beyond3d.com/showpost.php?s=502c8933367f315a17f...).
