Without actually opening one up, my guess is that everything bar the Oasys and Kronos (ignoring the OpenLabs/Music Computing stuff), all other synths are based on ASIC chip (Application Specific Integrated Circuits). These will have been designed to do specific tasks and nothing else which is why ...

The Kronos isn't a PC - it has no operating system between it and the sound generating algorithms. Compare it to the Open Labs workstations that need Core i5 because they have to run Windows as well as everything else. The OASYS had a custom-written Linux OS, hence the requirement for a Pentium 4 ...
