In announcing its flagship smartphone Galaxy II, Samsung had floated a slight blur around the embedded processor. The fact sheet mentions a Samsung SoC Exynos 4210 (ARM Cortex A9 dual-core ARM Mali GPU 400) but an asterisk mentioned that other chips could be used in some countries. This uncertainty was confirmed by the appearance of a version 2 in Tegra benchmark results GL Benchmark 2.0 (the result has since been removed).
We do not yet know which markets will benefit from the Galaxy and S II Exynos it is likely that Samsung does not communicate openly about this difference. It will hopefully be possible to distinguish the S Galaxy II by reference. The model is Exynos GT-I9100, while his brother Tegra 2 is the GT-I9103.
In any event, the end user, this waltz chips will not have much impact, both with SoC architectures and performance very close. By cons for Nvidia, it's good news again, the Galaxy II is called S to sell at least as well as the Galaxy S (which has surpassed 10 million units).
