That's quite the margin. I guess it really comes down to the GPU for that kind of thing. You know, kind of like how the PlayStation 3 only has 256 MB of system RAM and 256 MB of video RAM.
It's not just about how many hertzes your CPU has or how many bytes your RAM has: it's how your entire hardware configuration is put together to get the performance you want at the size/power consumption you want.
