Just coque iphone 7 plus solide when we thought that smartphone coque iphone 5 aquarelle manufacturers had ditched efforts to mislead reviewers coque iphone 6 qui tient la pomme and the public with “juiced” benchmark numbers, the latest actions by Huawei prove that the practice is still alive and well. This week, AnandTech discovered that Chinese OEM Huawei has been installing software on some of its smartphones that detects when certain benchmarks are being run.
As you might expect, when the software detects a popular benchmark, it ratchets up system performance beyond what the device coque samsung a5 2016 rouge silicon would normally be capable of in its stock configuration. In essence, the company is overclocking the SoC to make its devices look good in benchmarks at the expense [potentially] of lessening coque iphone 6 we’re all mad here the coque iphone se gifi life of critical components.
We’ve seen instances of this in the past from a litany of smartphone OEMs, most lot coque iphone 6s recently with OnePlus. However, most OEMs simply tuck their tail between their legs, admit defeat and promise not to install cheating software in future devices.
Huawei, on the other hand, defends the practice, coque samsung a5 2016 game boy and says that it’s actually a “feature” that leverages artificial intelligence to ensure that lot de coque iphone 6 plus the processor is operating at a peak efficiency at all time. “In normal benchmarking scenarios, once Huawei’s software recognizes a benchmarking coque iphone 7 spigen slim application, it intelligently adapts to coque iphone 6 master case ‘Performance Mode’ and delivers optimum performance,” said Huawei in a statement to The Inquirer. “Huawei is planning to provide users with access to ‘Performance Mode’ so they can use the maximum power of their device coque silicone a5 2016 samsung when they need to.”
On the one hand, Huawei seems to be saying that this is simply smart engineering, with its Kirin coque iphone qui rebondit 970 SoCs operating at the limit (and beyond) when maximum performance is required. However, in an impromptu interview coque iphone 8 plus cora with AnandTech at IFA 2018, Dr. Wang Chenglu, Huawei’s President of Software, admitted, “Others do the same testing, get high scores, and Huawei cannot coque iphone 5s noire et blanche stay coque iphone 6 marc marquez silent”.
That’s an interesting way to look at the situation, as Wang complains that other Chinese OEMs some of which don’t even sell devices in the United States are gaming the system in order to score higher on popular benchmarks.
UL has gone so far as to delist 3DMark benchmark results for the P20, coque iphone 8 plus foot P20 Pro, Nova 3 and Honor Play. “After testing the devices in our coque iphone 7 land rover own lab and confirming that they breach our rules, we have decided to delist the affected models and coque samsung galaxy a5 2017 eau remove them from our performance rankings,” wrote UL. “We found that the scores from coque samsung a5 2017 cerisier the public 3DMark app were up to 47% higher than the scores from the private app, even though the tests are identical. This kind of coque iphone 7 plus pour homme detection and optimization is forbidden by our rules for manufacturers.”
Given coque iphone 6s unie Huawei’s stance on optimizing cheating, we should be playing closer attention to the benchmark numbers that come coque iphone 6 hollister from Huawei’s upcoming Kirin 980 SoC, which was first announced last week at IFA 2018. This is the first commercial 7nm chip coming from TSMC and will pack coque ananas samsung galaxy a5 2017 in 6.9 billion transistors while promising a 20 percent overall performance uplift compared to the Kirin 970…
