HTC One S with S3 chip being offered in select European, Asian markets | Android Atlas - CNET Reviews

Quoting:
HTC has confirmed with The Verge that they are using a lower-powered Snapdragon S3 chipset for the HTC One S in select European and Asian markets. Thanks to an unusually high demand for the Snapdragon S4 processor, HTC has instead opted for Qualcomm's S3 CPU in some instances.

In a move that should please picky consumers, HTC is labeling the affected SKU's so that buyer are aware of the potential performance differences.

Well that certainly is different.
Typically Europe gets better phones than the same models of US versions.
