Samsung Galaxy S4 to have 8 core processor, to be unveiled on March 14th?

I would have rather they stuck with a Quad-Core design and drove up IPC instead or used the extra TDP headroom with fewer cores to boost up the graphics pipelines.
Lightly threaded applications will hence be no faster than the Galaxy S3 if per-core performance remains the same, it will be a big boon for heavily threaded applications (I.E. Encoding) and for multi-tasking though.
