Yes they confirmed it as a Mali, and they also have said 4x better..which leads me to believe T-604
Exynos 5450

Good news then.

Using a pair of A15 cores running at 2GHz, backed up by a quad-core Mali T-604 MP4 GPU. All of that will supposedly be built with Samsung's new 32nm High-K Metal Gate process.

That slide is about the Exynos 5250 and not about the 5450 that's mainly being discussed in this thread. That said, that slide does confirm that the Exynos 5250 will use a Mali T-604 MP4 GPU.
Samsung's Exynos 5450 chip is currently expected to feature an ARM Mali T658 graphics block. I can't really remember what exactly Samsung licensed from Imagination Technologies though.
Series5XT (the multi-core capable cores). Since 5250 contains a T604 it wouldn't make sense but to you use anything but a T658 for the 5450.

Imagination Technologies Group plc (LSE: IMG; "Imagination"), a leader in System-on-Chip Intellectual Property ("SoC IP"), has signed a license agreement with Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. ("Samsung") for IP from Imagination’s PowerVR SGX MP multiprocessor graphics family.
Samsung will deploy Imagination’s technologies in multiple SoCs targeting mobile and consumer markets.
We could be looking at 2013 SoCs - so are we talking SGX554MP here?

If we're talking 2013 SoCs then we're probably talking about Rogue aka PowerVR 6 series.
It states SGX MP clearly above, meaning that it should be a Series5XT member.
Did ST Microelectronics "go back" to PowerVR in some weird twisted sense or are they using IP from two GPU IP providers in parallel for the foresseable future?
There's never ever any hard evidence until we see a formal relative announcement from either IMG or Samsung in that regard. However indications at least are there:

For the moment we can categorize it as speculation, however JPR isn't the happy go merry random rumor mongering website with no real background either.
A wee bit closer to the topic (in a way): it's impressive how VIVANTE in such a small timeframe as a quite recent startup managed to gain as much ground as a GPU IP provider compared to ARM.
Chrome OS is coming to ARM based chips and one of the first ARM based Chromebooks that Chrome OS is being optimized is from Samsung and will apparently run on an Exynos 5250 chipset. In other words, we'll probably see Exynos 5250 being used in more than just tablets and phones.
Oh, here is the linky to show what I'm talking about: http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/24/chrome-os-coming-to-arm/

Is Chrome ever going to become relevant?
Probably not
. Not as an OS at least, in the way that Google envisions Chrome OS to be.No one seems to be surprised about the different market shares, but I was quite surprised:
- ARM's own Mali seem's to do poorly
- Vivante seems to do great, especially compared to the coverage of them
