When the GS3 launched, the qualcomm version out performed the exynos version in every benchmark and every single review said they could tell a difference when the two were side by side in real world situations. This was because the Exynos 4 was based on a cortex a9 while the Krait architecture was much more like the a15 that the Octa is built on. A dual core Krait or a15 will be a quad core a9 every day when running the same software. Not to say the Exynos 4 was a bad processor, but it wasn't the best either.
Why does samsung screw the US market?

Give me 600, I'll take some fully functional AOSP roms over that Exynos. Anyone that ROMs knows what I am talking about.
it may be true that the 8 core is not gonna be that much better than the S600... it's just the fact that they release the S4 and make the Octa sound like its their best chip... their latest and greatest on their best phone... then you find out you get the 'other' chip because you're american.
wtf? lol. The US should get all the best hardware!! Do what HTC does... delay european launch to make sure we americans have supply. HTC will get my business over Samsung!!
same as last year... who wants a dual core when 'over there' they get the quad.
You do realise Samsung isn't an American company, right? Why should America get the 'best' stuff first anyway? You do realise the vast majority of human beings do not live in the USA, right? Feeling entitled much? Wow.

Not that I disagree with you, but HTC is not American either. Plus the us is the largest single market and has the most ppl that buy phones several times a year. It's the bread winner in this game if you can market it work for you...

hey i put a smiley at the end didnt i? but yeah americans at times do feel entitled to have access to the best when it comes out... maybe comes from being an iphone user for a long time and steve never let us americans down 
... but we are a huge market and they are always fighting for our money so why not? why do the stupid press release at radio city in new york if not to grab US attention? should have done it at fricken sydney opera house then if they're not gonna give us the octa. <--- notice smiley.

personally i dont really care whats in my phone. i love my note 2. its super fast and smooth, and ive never let it get to 0% battery, but im getting about 27 hrs before i charge it. it does everything i need it to do, so no reason to care about whats in it. there are many phone manufacturers out there. if you dont like samsung, buy from a different manufacturer. it really is as simple as that
I don't think 95% of people even know what's in their phone

Well if you're a hardcore gamer, I doubt a phone is your method of choice. I'd think that's more for tablets, etc

Not a tablet with either one of these chips in it.
These chips aren't that bad for gaming.

No, they aren't. They're plenty powerful. They just don't have anything spectacular made for them that runs any better than anything else.
Obviously I'm referring to Tegra and the Tegrazone. After having it I'm not sure I'll use a tablet without Tegra because of the graphics.

I feel the tegrazone is overhyped. I used some of the games on my nexus 7 and didn't think there was anything really special about those and it seems they just isolated it from other chips( which likely could have handled it) as bragging. I think others need to come up with something similar to tegrazone for each particular chip to take advantage of.
There's nothing out currently that the s600 can't do on your phone. I don't understand how Samsung is screwing us over. I prefer the Qualcomm SoC because they know how CDMA radios work.
Agreed. The industry hasnt even fully embraced quadcore yet. All this octacore crap is the biggest marketing gimmick in history

Many devs don't even unlock the true potential of the dual core phones and he is talking about octa core lol.
