AFAIK, OsmAnd does not use multiple cores for rendering yet (but the rewrite should be under way).
OsmAnd can run on devices with 1GB of RAM, but switching to any other app (or even taking a photo note from inside OsmAnd) may push OsmAnd out of memory, thus switching back is slow as if you started it from scratch. At least that is what I see. I don't know if there is much difference between 1.5GB and 2GB of RAM. Maybe if running OsmAnd alone there isn't much difference. But if you plan to run more apps in paralel (e.g. Antivirus, GPS logging, OSM editing/note taking), or you want to calculate longer routes (e.g. 1000km) the more memory the better of course.
