I agree that most win8 phones and tablets are powerful enough for something like osu...was thinking more of those win7 ones ^^
But those single core vs multi core discussion has been on the internet for a long time And you cannot say one is more powerful than another, without the context. If you are able to effectively parallelizing the rendering (which is in osu!s case the most intesive task) you can benefit from more cores. But with the advanced security within devices nowadays it is more of an OS/API/engine issue.
