After a CES week during which the Android world was all a-twitter over a device that wasn't even revealed at the show, the previously hyperactive Galaxy S IV rumor mill has quieted down, mostly. It's likely to only be a momentary respite, however, as the device is heavily tipped to be released at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona next month. (UPDATE: Please see note at the bottom of the story.)
Perhaps the biggest news on the most hotly anticipated Android device so far in 2013 is that an ostensible screenshot of mobile benchmarking results has been published by a Japanese-language blog), which points out that the 1.8GHz CPU speed matches up with Samsung's Exynos 5 Octa eight-core SoC. (More on the Octa later.)
UPDATE: "Since this article was published, Qualcomm has contacted UnwiredView and Network World to say that Jacobs’ remarks were
aimed at hype over multi-core SoCs in general, not at the Exynos 5 Octa in particular. Qualcomm attributed the misunderstanding
to translation errors."
