I'm not sure if Mamba is really less capable than Gemini. For instance, Mamba has a DDR3 memory controller whereas Gemini only has a DDR2 memory controller. Is there even one single technical spec where Gemini outdoes Mamba?

I think that depends on which QorIQ P20xx you compare Mamba to specifically. Mamba is clearly superior to e500v2 based P2010/2020, but e500mc based P2040 could be about on par with Mamba (not taking into account the difference in CPU core amounts, that is).
I'd say your comparison of the 2040 to Mamba is fair. But what we really ought to be comparing are the 5500 cored products.
Unless APM releases something similar to the 64bit products you've mentioned before, then they don't have anything close to that line.
