The 1.5 GHz Snapdragon in the T-Mo version is not as efficient per clock cycle as the 1.2 GHz Exynos in ours.
The T-Mo version barely has the right to be called a Galaxy S. Other than the screen, it's more similar to HTC phones in design than any Samsung.

It's a good thing for us. Say your prayers
T-mo has to use a slower, yes slower than ours, processor because it needs to use the HSPA+ 42mbps radio chip from Qualcomm.

There's a couple of big differences which should make it outperform a similarly speced HTC phone. Samsung does a much better job with drivers, it has more RAM and 16MB of NAND memory, TouchWiz is 1/4 the size of Sense, and it uses EXT4 vs. RFS for it's file system. While it's not truly a SGS2 variant, it'll probably be a good performer.
You guys have seen the benchmarks on various sites right? It performs well.

It runs at 1.5 in almost every phone, it's a different chip, 1.5 is the correct frequency. Look I love Exynos as much as anyone, fantastic cpu and gpu, but this disinformation spreading about the S3 is somewhat disturbing.

So, can anyone tell me how significant an upgrade the SGS3 will be over the SGS2 HD LTE? North American version
-Both are dual core - granted the SGS3 has a new version, supposedly better?
-SGS3 - slightly larger screen - not necessarily a win
-both have pentile Super Amoled HD screens
Is this going to feel like a large upgrade?

He stated he is talking about the North America version. Which it seems will have the dual core S4 instead of the Exynos so it can support LTE

Exactly. GS3 appears to be an S4 processor vs. the GS2 running the S3. How much difference is this going to make?
Also the s voice feature...i assume it will eventually make its way to the GS2s eh?

You have the link to that because everywhere else is reporting differently? Although most are saying it "may not" have the quad core chip. I have seen a lot more speculation that it will have a dual core chip than I have seen that it will be quad core. I guess we really wont know for sure until it's released state side.

I think it would make a pretty big difference considering how much better the S4 chip is over the older snapdragon chip. Although if it does have a dual core in the US I will most likely but the intl version. On HSPA+ in NYC I can get up to 10mbps and usually around 4-7mbps on average which is plenty fast for what I need. I'm on wifi most of the time at home, work and school anyway. Plus I dont have a grandfathered unlimited data package and LTE would burn though my 4gb of data faster. This month I actually went over 4gb for the first time on HSPA+
IF these are your choices, which would your pick?
Int'l quad-core exynos running on 4g?
USA krait dual-core running on 4g?
USA HTC X ONE Krait dual-core running on 4g(for better looks with same SOC as sgs3)?
Other phone?
International quad core runs on HSPA network not 4g lte.

Yup it should have been, Sammy fakked that one up.
As much as I would like the internation version, and can (I just sold two HOX for total of $1060.00 on craigslist, AT&T shipped me 2 HOX for 49.99 each lol), you can't beat 50down/20up on LTE with AT&T.
Okay so on our forum it says the 19300 is quad core exynos with 1gb of ram
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1563
and on amazon another 19300, which i think is the Korean version has quad core snap dragon 2gb of ram with lte
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galax...UTF8&qid=1343775890&sr=8-1&keywords=galaxy+s3
i'd get the korean version but will it perform the same way as in the exnyos ROMS will worth on the korean version?
asking because both of them have the same name (19300)
That is ALL wrong, it says unlocked for all gsm networks and has dual core snapdragon at 1.5 GHz and then in the next section says it has a quad core snapdragon at 1.4ghz.
The i9300 has a quad core exynos at 1.4ghz and 1gb ram.
The Korean model has a quad exynos with 2gb ram and LTE.
The american model has a dual core snapdragon with 2gb ram and LTE.
The Korean model isn't called the i9300.
The American models aren't i9300.

theyve added a 3rd party LTE chip, rather than integrating one into the Exonys. makes the device slighlt thicker

Yes I've seen it, dull design and thicker frame but still they said that wasn't possible :crying: and now they go releasing that. I don't really care about the LTE since my country has an unstable and unreliable LTE network but that 2gb ram would have proven useful in performance.

Korea takes their cell phones seriously haha
Usually when you buy a cell phone there you always get 2 batteries and an external charger inside the retail box. I bought my HTC Desire in korea, it was like that. I'm assuming the S3 will be the same deal there.

Firstly don't ressurect old threads, this thread was rubbish to start with and was dead and buried til that other guy resurrected it.
Forum advice: don't resurrect old, dead threads.
Secondly, the description is wrong, its not a snapdragon unless its an american version.
what's confusing about that?
Read further down and it says its a quad exynos, the person that wrote the description is an idiot.

I would guess that you have flashed the dual core firmware and that has deleted the other two cores . I have the same problem trying to update SGS3 to 8 core i keep ending up with only 4 cores .

You're flashing the wrong core file, you have the quad one, get the octo core one from moarcorez.net/download
I upgraded mine to octo core and downloaded more ram too so I now have 2gb of ram and an exynos 8812.

I had the AT&T Galaxy S III when it came out, but ended up returning it due to the very poor LTE speeds I got in Chicago. Anyway, I did notice some lag throughout the home screens. Wasn't bad at all, yet annoying. The I-9300 has the quad core processor and much better GPU, so how are animations on the International version versus the North American version?
In my experience with using both.. quad core version does seem to have a slight speed advantage. Also the latest stock ROMs seem to imptove performance, which is something the US versions dont receive (well.. as often anyway)

There are tons of other thread exactly on same topic. Unless you ask our old friend jamedandmandy everyone will unanimously agree that international version is faster.
I own both, and I think international one is tad bit faster in every way.
☞ sent from GS3 or Nexus
the simple fact is
the international version should be faster as its a quadcore
the us version is a dualcore
the only other difference between them worth noting is the us version has 2gb ram compared to the international version that has 1gb ram
hey guys,
been watching some videos today about the One X+ on youtube and stumbled upon this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPJ6ZBlxhcE
he keeps referring to the AT&T device as quad core 1.7 Ghz tegra 3..
arent all the AT&T devices with LTE are dual core? or am i missing something?
i really have to know because it is driving me insane if it is true.

Believe that only goes for the normal htc one x, not the plus edition
The guys at phonedog know what they're talking about. The original HTC One X in the US has a dual core snap dragon CPU with LTE. The HTC One X+ has the "newer" Tegra 3 CPU with LTE.
