Quad core ARM architecture should be more than enough for editing and converting video, composing audio, and any gaming you'd ever want to do. Paired with a GPU that will probably have the same sort of horsepower as a GTS 250, and you're taking a machine that makes the current mainstream products from Intel and AMD look like something basic from 3 years ago.
