Of course, since Android has multi-tasking, at least the OS can take advantage of the cores that the front-end app can't.
Android is definitely not as 'snappy' as iOS. But JB is a LOT 'snappier' even on my single-core Nexus S.
I readily take your point - Apple's iPod, iPhone, iPad were magical when they came out. And they continued that with iPhone 4S, iPad3 displays.
But their competition has not stood still. The improvements in the iPhone 5 are not 'revolutionary' - there's nothing there that's pushing the envelope - 'merely' incremental improvements. Not that it's bad, but it's hyped way over what it is.

My bad. Here's with Android 4.1.1: http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench2/1045167 http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench2/1045167 You're right about multi-tasking, but single-task performance is still important for many apps. Assuming Geekbench scales linearly, the S3's single-task performance would be about half the iPhone 5's.
