This could be true. Samsung did the same thing with the s3 in the us, 2gigs of ram and a dual core processor where the international version had 1gig and a quad core. I vote for the 4 gigs of ram and a quad core. Honestly on a mobile phone a 8 core will feel no different than a quad core. Plus on my s3 at least touchwiz tears up that 2 gigs of ram and that'd without the 4.2 update that the s4 will ship with. So hopefully we do get the quad core, 4 gig version. That extra boost of ram will really help.
