S4 vs. S3

saw this in the review. is it worth waiting for the better processor?

As you have probably heard by now, the Samsung Galaxy S4 is available in two configurations. The first one is powered by an eight-core Exynos 5 Octa chipset, which offers two groups of four cores - one of the power-saving Cortex-A7 variety clocked at 1.2 GHz and the other of the extra powerful Cortex-A15 architecture running at 1.6GHz.
Unfortunately that chipset proved quite hard to manufacture, so the majority of the first batch of Galaxy S4 units will be powered by the Snapdragon 600 chipset, just like our test unit. The Qualcomm-made SoC boasts four Krait 300 cores clocked at 1.9GHz, 2GB of RAM and Adreno 320 GPU.
