AT&T's ONE X is not a true ONE X.
The AT&T HTC One X does not have the quad processor. It is just a dual core. I imported my ONE X through amazon (grey market) to get a true ONE X. The AT&T device should be renamed in all fairness and truthfullness (is that a word).
Maybe. But the AT&T version does connect to the super fast LTE networks in the United States. The international version uses the much slower HSPA+ network.
So maybe the international version is not a true One X
It all depends how you look at things. I feel the average user would like faster browsing/download speeds than 2 extra cores, since most apps are not even optimized for 4 cores at this time

And according to some benchmarks that I have seen, the snapdragon s4 in the AT&T version is just as fast and sometimes even faster than the quad core Tegra 3, so I don't think there's any difference to the user.
Why should they though? As far as AT&T is concerned they're selling the HTC One X to their consumer base. As far as HTC is concerned they're selling the HTC One X. For 99% of the population buying the One X they do not even know there are processor variations. They're not buying the phone for the processor or the ram or the storage or whatever. They're picking up the phone, snapping a picture, flicking around the UI and going "I like this".
"does not have the quad processor. It is just a dual core." implies performance. Especially when you say that they are different devices because of this fact
You get the same experience and same shape using either of the phones. If you held an international version in one hand and an AT&T version in the other, you wouldn't really be able to tell them apart. Someone who is not well-versed in smartphones would not be able to at all.

IIRC there are no true performance gains from dual to quad yes? I know when I got my Inc2 and everyone was crowing over it not being dual-core there was no real world difference. I thought the only huge gain is the extra cores, right now at least, can only possibly help in battery life.
And guess what, Samsung will probably do the same thing with the galaxy S3, replacing the quad core exynos with a dual core of some kind to be compatible with US LTE networks.
I think the key issue would be the pricing. AT&T contract users can get their mobile for less than US $ 200 for a 2 year contract.
Actually, it is a true One X, you know since it is acknowledged by HTC as being just that. Phone manufacturers are allowed to make different versions of a phone, you know.
This has been happening for awhile, you know. Those fancy quad core parts in the international version don't support LTE/4G yet, so their forced to use dual core instead at least here in the US. But that's not necessarily a bad thing, as the Snapdragon S4 (the dual core proc. used in the AT&T HOX, is REALLY good). Either way, both versions are really great and really fast so just enjoy it!

Absolutely agree with you Andrew. Both versions would be a success.
Only wonder if the Quad core Vs Dual core from AT&T HTC One X would impact the speed while intense gaming. I think one of the key strengths was also the gaming aspect of this wonderful mobile - quad core set which perhaps would suffer. The under US $ 200 pricing for AT&T would be however more appreciated & welcome by most AT&T users
