when is quad core LTE?

It is already available in Australia and New Zealand. The problem right now is the frequency that these phones are using for LTE is not the same as all the north america providers. 800mhz, 1800mz and 2600mhz is what the current versions are using. North America's SCH-i747 uses 700mhz, 1700 mhz and 2100mhz. That has to change before you will see a Quad Core LTE in NorthAmerica.

That model is only for Korea and some regions like Australia where LTE bands are 800, 1800Mhz. It can't work with US carriers due to different LTE frequencies.

I guess your question is when US is getting quad core/LTE version of GS3. Unfortunately Samsung doesn't make quad Exynos, LTE version of GS3 for US carriers. They don't seem to have any plan to do so. But upcoming Note 2 will be such model.
