those Who thought that only manufacturers of sjoemelsoftware keep, wrong. In 2013, it was revealed that Samsung benchmarks manipulates to devices better tests to come. Other manufacturers have 4 years later, nothing learned.
Today, OnePlus and Meizu are caught. The Chinese manufacturers detect when benchmarking apps like GeekBench, and let the processor to a maximum and without thermal limitations run.
Processor boost
Android developers from XDA have the manipulation together with GeekBench developer PrimateLabs examined. OnePlus let the small cores of its phones are continuously at 0.98 GHz and the large cores at 1.29 GHz running when a Benchmark is running. Normally turning it on 0,31 GHz. Meizu pulls a similar trick.
By all cores on full speed to make it run, give benchmarks not reflect actual expected performance. Smartphones are not made to be constantly at full clock speed to work, this is disastrous for the battery life and heat build-up.
The OnePlus 3 is one of the phones with sjoemelsoftware.
OnePlus promises to change for the better
To assess the impact of the sjoemelsoftware to measure, XDA together with the developer of GeekBench a new benchmark with GeekBench as a golf-game of disguise it was. The OnePlus 3, approximately 5% worse performance, but the performance of the Meizu Pro 6 Plus went up in some cases by half.
OnePlus has promised the sjoemelsoftware with the next update to remove it, but still it is a gaming mode where the CPU when a number of games staged word. XDA calls it’s still wrong because not all games benefit from this, but only those with a OnePlus recognizes. Meizu has not responded.
