I would be happy with both, honestly.

The Exynos favors multicore performance while the 820 favors single-core performance.

Wasn't the Galaxy S6 model for Canada, SM-G920W8, a CDMA model on a Exynos chipset I believe dpham00.

That's interesting. Guess it could be like the Verizon s6 then with the Exynos cpu but qualcomm baseband processor.
