haha... scamsung...

but they didn't show any proof which they have???

perhaps that explains why some note3 user reporting running the benchmark test the 2nd time yield lower score?

running the benchmark the 1st time, the proc overclock and give higher score, but at the same time overheated. and so running the 2nd time, the proc throttled down due to the overheat from 1st run...

well, just my guess.

true... in real life usage, it's hardly noticeable difference in performance. nowadays, i feel these benchmark score is merely for marketing purposes, just to show how powerful their device is to the mass market.

The detail "report"

i have not finish the whole thing yet cos it not really bothers me. but what make them suspicious is as follow

it's about how the test are carried out i would say

when running the test, of course each of the phone to be tested shall be running on the same condition, then only your comparison is fair and square.

i'm not sure about the geekbench. but from my understanding, it's like it test each of the phone not only in peak performance, but also test the phone during idle time, when at this stage the CPU is suppose to shut off 3 of the 4 core. but they claim samsung alter this idle time during these benchmark test and note3 will not stay idle even if it should and thus firing all 4 cores... increasing the overall benchmark score than it should.

and they claim a phone should not behave this way as in normal day to day usage, there will be idle time when 3 of the 4 cores are shut down...

all other phones are are function and tested this way and it is unfair when samsung tweaked note3 to behave otherwise solely for benchmark testing purpose.

this is my understanding la

haha... i dunno...

like i said, it's about how the phone are tested... they have LG G2, tested in "normal" way whereby in some apps the phone shut down 3 of 4 cores. but they claim samsung never shut down its core... so, it is not a fair comparison already and said samsung cheated cos they tweaked the note3 to behave differently specifically when running benchmark app

well, everyone's needs is different. that's y we have so many different brands and products for us to choose from.

don't like this brand/product, just move on to other which better suits your needs
