Just as with the Samsung Galaxy S4, it looks like the world will be split between those who will get the Exynos 5 Octa processor in the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and those who won't.
According to SamMobile, the independent and fairly reliable Samsung blog, there will be two models, one with the eight-core processor on the 3G variant, while the LTE variant will sport the Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor.
With the Exynos 5 Octa revealed last month, this isn't the first leak to indicate that the new processor will be used for the Galaxy Note 3.
According to the site, the Galaxy Note III LTE will be powered by the Snapdragon 800 processor with an Adreno 330 GPU, while the Galaxy Note III 3G version will feature the Samsung Exynos 5420 Octa with an ARM Mali-T628 MP6 GPU.
A 3 GB LPDDR3 (Channel A+B – 12.8Gbit+12.8Gbit) RAM will feature in both variants.
Octa vs LTE
As the eight-core Galaxy S4 variant wasn't released across all territories in favour of LTE, including in Australia, the UK and US, we've been doubtful of a global eight-core Galaxy Note 3 release.
SamMobile has put together a comprehensive list of which territories and carriers will get which Note 3 variant, with the Brits lucky enough to get both the Snapdragon 800 LTE variant (H3G, O2, Vodafone) and the eight-core 3G variant (Carphone Warehouse).
The US seemingly only have the Snapdragon LTE model listed through AT&T alongside its country code. Aussies also looks to miss out on the Exynos 5 Octa, while the LTE model is listed through Optus, Telstra and Vodafone.
Of course, Samsung will probably later add to this list, so perhaps the US and Australia won't be left behind after all.
We're inclined to put faith in this list and spec details though, if only because it is so comprehensive, but we'd still take all this with a grain of salt until Samsung's Unpacked event on September 4, when the Galaxy Note 3 is expected to be launched.
