Samsung executive confirms that U.S. variant of Samsung Galaxy S III will feature dual-core CPU

Last night, we warned those in the U.S. not to get too excited by the news that the Samsung Galaxy S III would be the first device to be equipped with the quad-core 1.4GHz Samsung Exynos 4412 under the hood. We feared that because of the widespread use of LTE in the U.S. and the lack of an integrated LTE radio on the Samsung Exynos 4412, the Korean based manufacturer might decide to go with the dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 instead. This is what AT&T was forced to substitute the quad-core NVIDIA Tegra 3 for on its version of the HTC One X.
