It was up in the air as to whether the Galaxy S4 would use this 8-core chip or a Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 for its LTE capability. The Exynos will be accompanied by 2GB of RAM and a PowerVR SGX 544MP GPU.
The benchmarking app also confirms that the Galaxy S4 will use a 4.99in display with a Full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080, just like the Sony Xperia Z. This will go with the traditional capacitive back and menu buttons as well as a physical home button.
