"beats all smart phones" seems a bit of an editorial, it looks like it's got a better GPU and a newer Javascript engine (they only show the Apple benchmark rather than Mozilla or Google's and on the desktop Apple does about a fifth better on it's own benchmark than Google's V8, but loses to it on the other two.).
They don't show the raw CPU performance against anything non-Apple, but I'd guess they'd perform roughly the same as any other dual-core A9 at the same clockspeed (with the caveat that Tegra2's don't have NEON), though most Android phones have higher clockspeeds. Since 1GHz Tegra2s from tablets beat it even on Sunspider it seems they still have a raw CPU disadvantage due to clock speeds.
A "bit of an editorial" would be you playing down the fact that in 4 comparisons of smartphones, the 4S is first by a mile in all 4 or claiming that a Sunspider score of 2220 is somehow meaningfully better then 2222.
Everyone and their mother knew the SGX543MP2 was gonna smoke everything else on the market right now. Maybe the new Nexus will leapfrog that but as of this week "beats all smartphones" in benchmarks would seem accurate.
