bragging benchmark?

lol how often u brag?

i think 70% typical users just need a quad

doesnt matter high or low, its still quad

that few ghz doesnt make RM500, honestly

The Exynos octacore is actually 2 quadcore processors :  four high-performance ARM Cortex-A15 cores running at 1.60GHz, four low-power ARM Cortex-A7 cores with 1.20 GHz clock-speed as well as PowerVR SGX 544 graphics adapter.
However, the Exynos 5410, though having eight cores but the phone will use only four at a time.

The technology used is called big.LITTLE and Samsung has taken a licence for it from ARM. In actual use, Galaxy S IV will use A7 cores while handling light work. For example, if you are making a call, the phone is likely to be powered by A7 cores. But if you are playing a demanding 3D game, it will switch off A7 cores and use A15 cores. At no point of time, the phone will use all eight cores simultaneously.

Samsung claims that this technology provides users best balance of performance as well as battery life. An important detail to note is that A15 cores are very powerful and even if only four of them are used in Exynos 5410, it is enough to make the device one of the most powerful smartphones in the market.

I am only looking forward to the Snapdragon model mainly due to LTE being enabled on it

Snapdragon has LTE. 

I remember one guy posted that the Snapdragon 600 model will cost RM 2399 while the EXynos Octacore will be RM 2199. Forgot where was his source

Not buying S4 at the moment. 
Yeah remember i saw that post somewhere before as well. Theoretically, LTE version should cost more. Exynos octa core is just a smarter quad-core cpu.

From Note 2 to S4 not really a big jump to lure me to buy it atm.  I just want S4 to be available asap so that my Note 2 can get 4.2 android stock rom. 

+1..still prefer big screen..

according to this site, the cost of LTE version is cheaper..

True..it's just slightly smaller than the Note 2's 5.5"..

My choice is leaning towards the S4..but then I've got a "sub-category" to choose..non-LTE or LTE

then you dont know much

Initial feedback from hardwarezone.sg user : not promising
"The RAM usage is around 900MB out of 1.8Gb available after rebooting, feel like touchwiz is going more and more bloat. The UI is still not smooth, I wonder if samsung optimisation focus more on exynos or qualcomm processor.
The storage space is really shocking as it only got like 7.45GB available for 16GB model."

Snapdragon = i9505 = LTE
Exynos = i9500 = No LTE

Only 2 international version.

I really wanna to know how's the i9500 bench turn out in gpu.
Still no benchmark from graphic side from i9500

I believe the Exynos LTE will only be in Korea like previous reports.  Dun really know.

Korea version is not international version. Also have to take note if Korea LTE band is the same as Malaysia. Otherwise its useless also, 

I have seen any review of i9500, wo do u have your source?

bro mudkipryan can you please put this at the front page.. easy reference next time..
