Yes. According to the TDP review:

The DIGIC 4 processor is utilized exclusively in conjunction with a new 100,000-pixel RGB Metering Sensor and EOS intelligent Subject Analysis System (EOS iSA System) that analyses the color, brightness, motion, contrast and distance information of a scene. The 252 metering zones (the 1D IV has 63) along with new subject/scene recognition capabilities (including color and face detection) make a difference in most/all auto image quality settings - including auto flash exposures.
Apparently almost everyone is saying there is a noticeable difference in the accuracy of metering, the speed of AF, and the accuracy of AF tracking on the 1D X, as compared to the 5D3.
