The new optimization practice targets several benchmark tests like GFXBench, BaseMark OS II, and BaseMark X, claimed AnandTech. This year, they found out a never seen before benchmark optimization technique when reviewing HTC One M8. Notably, last year AnandTech criticized Android OEMs for their alleged use of optimizing techniques on their flagship handsets related to benchmarks. The Asian model scored a whopping 38,815 in AnTuTu, but only 27,171 in the new AnTuTu X App. The newer version is named "AnTuTu X" app.Īccording to BGR, a Taiwanese site named ePrice compared benchmarks for an assortment of devices with both the older and newer versions of AnTuTu and found varied results on the Asian HTC One (M8) variant. The older version "AnTuTu app" was the one hoodwinked by many of Android phones with their benchmark rigging techniques last year. Interestingly, AnTuTu has two versions of their app. The reports suggested that HTC cheated significantly in benchmarks. In specific, the "Asian" variant of HTC One M8 stood out with the highest score. With the brand new HTC One M8, history is repeating itself.Īccording to CNet, benchmark score rigging is not a one-off incident pretty much all the Android devices (except for the devices straight from Google's den) engage in such practices.ĪnTuTu, a benchmark scoring app company, claimed that the benchmark scores of HTC One (M8) trumped other market leaders' scores with its superior performance. In Samsung's case, a code was supposedly discovered on the handset that triggers the handset into CPU optimization mode when it finds out bench-marking apps running in the background. When Samsung Galaxy S4 was launched last year, the Korean manufacturer was criticized for rigging the benchmark score of their flagship handset.
