Looks like people in the US willing to grab the upcoming
Galaxy S III won't be treated to its quad-core Exynos variant. Instead, latest
evidence points to a dual-core Snapdragon S4 powering the Galaxy S III for
Verizon.
This is further confirmed by early NenaMark2 benchmarks,
which show a Galaxy S III (SCH-I535) with a 1.5GHz dual-core S4. The reason for
this exchange of hardware is the LTE support, which the Exynos 4 Quad chipset
doesn't offer.
However, the benchmark shows something interesting. The
Adreno 225 GPU in the Snapdragon S4 beats the Mali-400MP in the Exynos Quad by
a couple of frames. Now, this might be due to the pre-release software and/or
some inconsistency in the NenaMark2 benchmark. Don't forget, that the Galaxy S
III screen is capped at 60FPS, so results close to that point may not be
perfectly accurate.
