Exynos 4412 its official.

Found this looking around for more SGSIII info.

US Galaxy S III may not feature quad-core chip

I don't want to believe that's true so I'm going to say its just a rumor but, if its true then the SGSIII will just be a better One X. If that's the case I'll have to think about whether I want to wait for the SGSIII to come to AT&T or just pick up a One X. However, if it has an MicroSD slot that would be a game changer. Also from the looks of the dummy units we will be able to swap out batteries which is a bonus. Just going to have to wait until May 3rd.

Might not necessarily be better than the One X...

It's a big leap to just casually say it'll be better than the One X - the current king of the hill. Let's wait till May 3rd. Hell, let's wait till reviewers (better yet you or me) get their hands on it.

Actually, the EVO LTE is "better" than the One X, and will be a hard phone to top.

I agree.

Right now i will get either the Evo LTE or the GS3.

I am starting to get friendly with that thought too, but of course I'll wait to see what exactly the Sprint version of the GS3 will look like.

is anybody else a little bit disappointed..? i mean S4 should be fine, but although its a A15 architecture it does not "beat" tegra 3, its on PAR with it. i wanted a phone that is future proof for at least 2 years...

Dual core keeps up with quad core...that's a win in my book.

The notion of quad-core being "future proof" as compared to dual-core makes no sense to me. Android (in ICS) already has full multi-core support, so a year after you get your multi-core phone, the processor will be just as utilized to its potential as it was when you bought it...so what exactly is it that will change in a few years that will unlock potential out of quad cores that it won't unlock out of dual cores? The only thing that will change (in terms of how cores are used) will be the fact that many apps still don't have adequate multi-core support, and of course the general shift to quad-cores will force developers to implement multi-core support. But, again, that change will also affect dual-core devices! So, just like now, in the future a cutting edge dual-core will be just as good as a quad-core that isn't at the same level of advancement.

I imagine the GS3 the U.S. gets that has the S4 will be paired with something better than Adreno 225. The 225 is what is holding the S4 back right now, and was really only used because the One S only has a 960 x 540 screen. The S4 does beat Tegra 3 in certain benchmarks, and once it is paired with a better GPU it will probably beat it in other benchmarks too.

The S4 is only being produced with the adreno 225 right now. The adreno 320 is due later this year.

my Biggest thing is going to be battery life, and all 3 of these processor's deploy very different tactics to achieve their battery life.

Tegra 3, Brute force fairly unsophisticated CPU(40nm a9 core) but utilizes the 1 low power core to achieve ridiculous stand by times. Each core's clock speed can be adjusted(or completely turned off) based on needs

Qualcomm S4 - uses cutting edge manufacturing process(28nm process, similar to Arm A15 design) relying on small manufacturing process to obtain excellent battery life. Each core's clock speed can be adjusted or turned completely off depending on needs.

Samsung Exynos - 32nm manufacturing process, not as cutting edge as Qualcomm solution, but not as inefficient as Nvidia's chip. Processor is able to dynamically adjust clock speeds AND voltages on each core, should provide excellent battery life (crosses fingers)

Another interesting thing to mention is that the New Exynos 4412 can be a pin for pin replacement to the existed exynos cpu's, so Samsung could very easily take the existing galaxy note, and place a shiny new quad core exynos in it.

I just want ONE super smartphone that comes with 4.0 screen

Is that too much to ask for?

I think its overkill to have that kind of hardware for a screen that is only 4 inches. I mean what do you need all that power for? You can barely see anything with a screen so small. Can't really play high detailed games due to virtual buttons taking up a big chunk of screen real estate. When you watch hd videos, the extra detail is virtually pointless since you would barely be able to see it. Everything is just less convenient, browsing webpages would make be a waste too since if you have such a high resolution on such a small screen, the words are super tiny, and you would only need that kind of power to display all of the flash content on the screen.

You understand what I'm saying right? Last years dual cores is already as powerful as they needed to be. Now on a larger screen phone, that is what I'm talking about.
