Recently, we have seen a report that Samsung suspected to have used again a special software on the Galaxy Note 3 to inflate the benchmark phablette his last score. A hint that appeared following a benchmark abnormally high compared to the LG G2, which the latter proposed the same Snapdragon processor 800 running at 2.3 GHz. Following this new controversy, Samsung denies having used any cheating software to increase the score of the Galaxy Note Benchmark 3.
As a reminder, Samsung was accused of using such software on its Galaxy S4 to crush all competitors at the benchmark. At the time, Samsung was formally stating that its Galaxy S4 received no special treatment in order to propel the benchmark score, but its GPU was indeed able to achieve this high frequency indicated by the Benchmark Report . A frequency which in reality will never be reached in normal use, and that, even with intensive application performance.
This week, a new report indicated that the Galaxy Note 3 proposed a score still abnormally high compared to another terminal with more or less the same features as the latter. A report suspected so Samsung have once again used a program to boost the frequency of the CPU and GPU Galaxy Note 3 when the latter is subjected to a benchmark test.
Faced with this accusation, Samsung shows through CNET UK : "The Galaxy Note 3 maximizes frequency CPU / GPU when performing operations that require a big performance. "The spokesman went on to say that:" It was not an attempt to cheat on the benchmark results. We remain committed to providing our customers the best possible user experience. "
Honestly, we do not know if these are sites like Ars Technica or Anandtech (who unveiled cheating) that are in error, or if Samsung used (unknowingly?) Actually a line of code to overclock CPU and GPU of the device when the latter is subjected to a benchmark test. We remind you that the benchmark score in no way defines the actual performance of a device.
