X vs S ( T3vsS4)

I hear the smaller one s had a S4 processor which is better that tegra3. Is this true. And does that mean that the s is faster than the x?

they are pretty on par performance wise but one thing to not is that the S4 is stronger core per core, so non-multithreaded apps will run better on the S4 whereas multi-threaded apps will run about the same on both.

the S4 is 28nm so should have slightly better battery life.

as for the phones, the X has an absolutely AMAZING screen.

i personally wouldn't let the processor sway your decision, they are both great, in my opinion i like the s4 more but that is just me, i would look at the phone as a whole.

So with standard apps, the S4 is better? Does that mean as more apps are developed for quad core phones, the T3 will become stronger?

The performance numbers are so close that you won't even be able to tell. The qHD resolution on the S is a big negative, in my opinion, compared to the X. Gotta have that 720 screen.
