Agreed. This seems to be purely for spec racing. There is little tangible benefit of a non-integrated solution just for quad-core. But I guess it could also be a time-to-market issue as 8960T (2x Krait, Adreno 320, integrated LTE) comes later.
LG's been hitting the stores w/ Optimus 4X HD w/ non-catching marketing strategies, then they'll be making another quad-core again? LG's always excited. Just don't forget to release that w/ Jellybean I guess? Better to have this at all... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jufmgrc69qs

Quad Core Cpu+Separate Chip for LTE (you get better battery life usually if you only use 1 chip instead of 2.)metafor - Wednesday, August 22, 2012 - link

True to an extent, but the power draw isn't as bad as the previous generation modules since both the SoC and the modem in this device will be 28nm...We'll have to wait and see how the new 28nm modem (LTE modules) perform as a separate package. We've yet to see any.
