Also, more computing power means more battery power required. The engineers are always trying to find that sweet spot between system power and battery life that will please most people.

Yes, but isn't the advantage of multiple cores that you don't have to use all of them? So if you have a simple pdf you could use less power and if you have a complex one you could still open it at an agreeable speed.
