| 1360918 | 2013-11-26 21:04:00 | I thought 3Dmark was biased for nVidia and Intel anyway | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 1360919 | 2013-11-26 21:08:00 | Not sure what the bias is like on the mobile platform but this is because results which Samsung and HTC phones give in futuremark aren't comparable to anything outside of the benchmark because the phones were raising temp and clock limits when they detected certain benchmarks to obtain higher scores. | icow (15313) | ||
| 1360920 | 2013-11-26 21:33:00 | From what I read earlier it has something to do with the fact that Samsung wrote some specific software for the phones that would enable them to perform at a higher rate specifically for the 3D tests thus putting a performance bias on the results which is effectively cheating. The changes made were not available on phones sold to regular customers. |

That's all well and good, but what would be real cool is if the phones in question could get those results without the need for any specific modifications. |

| 1360924 | 2013-11-27 09:32:00 | Well considering that some Android users tend to be a tech orientated bunch, I would say bragging rights. I'm pretty sure that Samsung would endeavour to take great pleasure in crowing about it in their advertising ;) | Webdevguy (17166) | ||

I remember either ATI/nvidia being accused of doing the same thing with their drivers: being written just to up benchmark scores. |
