![]() ![]() There are a lot of intelligent customers who tinker with their devices, so they would be better off not hiding anything that would make consumers doubt to maintain brand loyalty and trust. While this may not be critical news for those happy with their Galaxy devices, may this fiasco be a stern reminder to all manufacturers that these kinds of acts won’t just slip under the radar. Nothing has been said about their foldable devices such as the Z Fold and Z Flip, though. Thankfully, the company replied saying that there were no noticeable differences between GOS off and GOS on during the testing of these particular devices. This makes perfect sense as this lineup was the pinnacle of the Samsung hierarchy for a moment in time. Online users also requested that the Note series be tested. Affected devices include 4 generations of the flagship Galaxy S phones: namely the Galaxy S10, S20, S21, and S22 lineups. The test bench for this new Geekbench 5 result featured a 16-core Ryzen 9 7950X Zen 4 chip with a maximum reported frequency of 5.738GHz, 32GB of 6000MT/s DDR5 RAM, and an Asus ROG Crosshair X670E. Another thing was that there was this software called Game Optimization Service (GOS) which. The team states benchmark manipulation as the cause of this move. BENCHMARKS DELETED GEEKBENCH OVER CHEATING ALLEGATIONS SOFTWARE. It's different but has the same effect the benchmark is no longer representative of the actual device performance. Samsung is throttling everything except for the benchmark. Some companies used to boost performance when they detected a benchmark being run. The company should have taken an all-or-nothing approach in selecting the 10,000 apps here.Īfter performing an internal investigation, popular benchmarking software Geekbench has removed 4 years’ worth of Samsung phones from their rankings. Yup it's exactly the same thing companies used to do before but in reverse. The numbers in the benchmarks clearly inflate illusions of its real-world power that isn’t just there. Since most people who haven’t had time with a device make use of benchmark scores to come to a purchasing decision, these customers technically aren’t receiving the grunt they are paying for due to software limitations. The term is defined as “a thing intended to deceive others, typically by unjustifiably claiming or being credited with accomplishments or qualities” by the Oxford dictionary. Perhaps the only solution is to ensure that benchmark results are not the sole criteria on which a smartphone is judged.This whole fiasco, if gone undetected, would have been a mild variation of fraud. Rigging benchmark tests was pretty common in the PC and Laptop era and the same thing is being repeated with smartphones. Samsung had then responded to The Verge saying they "did not use a specific tool on purpose to achieve higher benchmark scores." The report had noted that " select benchmarks, the CPU is set to the maximum CPU frequency available at app launch,"where the Samsung Galaxy S4 was concerned. OnePlus 9 benchmarks deleted from Geekbench over cheating allegations 1. Previously AnandTechhad pointed out how Samsung's Galaxy S4 was optimised to give certain results for some benchmark tests. Sadly, the Ars team also pointed out that Samsung didn't have to resort to this benchmark boosting as the phone was faster than the LG G2 even without the special mode. We have successfully disabled the special benchmark mode." Then at the end, tally up how many runs it managed. The post goes on to note, "With Geekbench, System Monitor shows that the CPU is locked into 2.3GHz mode and all cores are active, but in Stealthbench, the CPU is allowed to idle, shut off cores, and switch power modes, the same way it does in any other app. For the benchmarks that are not all-encompassing, like GeekBench, we could fully charge the phone and then run the benchmark repeatedly. In fact, when Ars ran a slightly altered version of Geekbench where they just changed the package name of the app to Stealthbench, the scores dropped. After some testing, it appeared that the boosted benchmark mode is triggered by the package names of the most popular benchmarking apps-loading Geekbench, for example, starts this mode, notes the report. The post on Ars, pointed out that the Note 3 and LG G2 have the same processor yet the Note 3 was outdoing the G2 by almost 20 percent on the tests. The report says that Samsung appears to be artificially boosting the US Note 3's benchmark scores with a special, high-power CPU mode that kicks in when the device runs a large number of popular benchmarking apps. AFPĪccording to the post on Ars, it appears that Samsung's Galaxy Note 3 has been programmed to show higher results for certain benchmark tests.
