Well the Droid RAZR has an OMAP4 4430 vs the Galaxy Nexus' OMAP4 4460, which can outperform the 4430 and be clocked higher. The Droid RAZR's GPU (304 Mhz) is clocked slower than the Galaxy Nexus' GPU (384 MHz). The Droid RAZR has a qHD screen vs the the Galaxy Nexus' HD screen.
When you look at the entire package that both phones offer it comes down to a matter of personal preference. Do you want to be one of the cool kids on the block with phone that has a stainless steel core and kevlar backing? Do you want to be the first to taste the latest version of Android?

4 me, "being first" is never part of the equation or something I need. It's what fits my actual needs best vs a "spec war' or being first. The performance of both phones will certainly be spectacular...
