Apple doesn't give cpu specs for the iphones and they seem to be getting along just fine.

Did Nokia ever market saying it doesn't need that much horsepower in its phone as they have a much superior architecture and a well written code?
Probably not. But those in the know, knows that Symbian is pretty efficient on CPU, memory and power usage. The clueless or those who thinks they know would just be looking at the raw CPU speed. One thing that Nokia is consistently guilty of though is putting too little RAM into their devices.

So, how will Nokia fare in his comparisons?
Nokia phones have always had a slower CPU than the competition so nothing new there.

Ok, take it this way. Needed or not, you have to compete on the spec level atleast for marketing reasons.
Apple doesn't.

You gave an example of Intel and AMD, fair enough. But you know who is still the King right?
That's in part due to the superior illegal tactics Intel employed in coercing manufacturers not to use AMD stuff, and for which they are now being sued by AMD for.
