CONFIRMED: 1.5Gz Dual-core Snapdragon S4 chip for Verizon's Galaxy S III

While the International Version of the Samsung GALAXY S III packing an Exynos Quad-core CPU chip, latest Information from Samsung confirm that Verizon's version of the GALAXY S III will pack a dual-core Snapdragon S4 which is a powerful processor too and it will Support LTE High-speed connectivity.

This is further confirmed by early NenaMark2 benchmarks, which show a Galaxy S III (SCH-I535) with a 1.5GHz dual-core S4. Yes, this is the same chipset found in the HTC One X. 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 due to the pre-release software and some inconsistency in the NenaMark2 benchmark.
