Futuremark says "enough" cheating, Samsung and HTC results ... - Dobreprogramy

increasing competition in the mobile device market pushes producers to increasingly impure licks, although progress specialists in advertising or sales in relation to at least some of them probably say that it’s only wiralny marketing within the professional media monitoring. When, however, the reviews are necessarily subjective, it is among the users believe that numbers do not lie , benchmarks are considered reliable, objective method of measuring equipment capabilities. What to do, then, when the number of start lie

peculiar behavior of some phones and tablets when running benchmarks on them, the use of specially compiled for the processor version – a practice which is said, though clearly nobody fraud is not proven. Lack of evidence does not mean lack of guilt, and the consequence of these manipulations is not only cheating the potential buyers of the device, but also depriving themselves of benchmarks make any sense.

why Futuremark, the manufacturer of the extremely popular 3DMark benchmark, decided it was time to clean the playing field. Samsung and HTC devices have been found to infringe the principle of performance tests, so deprived of them hitherto occupied places in the rankings and scores achieved. Treated in this way, the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (a version of the processor Exynos 5 Octa and Snapdragon 800), Samsung Galaxy Note (also in versions with Exynos and Snapdragon), and HTC One and HTC One Mini.

In an official press release, Futuremark said that consumers rely on the benchmarks as a source of accurate and reliable measurement of performance, and therefore requires manufacturers comply with strict rules in this as a platform to interact with software testing. First of all, it is prohibited to optimize the preparation of any specific 3DMark, in particular, detecting that the benchmark was running. Permitted is only the use of patches, in case of any incompatibility prevented the benchmark run.

the occasion of 3DMark for Android updated, increasing compatibility testing with Nvidia processors and some models of Samsung S3 and filter the results after adding the operating system. The latest version can be downloaded from Google Play.
