Hi,

Looking at the specs of any recent smartphones with Wi-Fi and/or 3G connectivity, even the low-end ones seem to have at least 600 MHz ARM. Anything that I could imagine running WebRTC, in terms of real products, will have an even faster CPU. 

Nokia has had phones with SIP and SRTP for several years, so I doubt that will be an issue. It's all the other stuff that WebRTC will need that will be much more challenging.
