It's not always about the processor, the GPU is quad core, while there are two separate cores soley for audio/language processing

The X8 is actually a software-optimized dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro clocked at 1.7GHz. This system-on-a-chip (SoC) has a quad-core Adreno 320 GPU (so we’re at six cores so far). The other two cores in Motorola’s eight-count are the natural language and contextual computing processors. These cores are actually not integrated with the SoC as was previously thought — they are elsewhere on the board and they’re not ARM cores. The natural language processor handles all the audio processing and noise cancellation, allowing the always-on voice features. As for contextual computing, that’s essentially combining sensor information and running the notification service while the phone sleeps.
