AnTuTu, a popular platform for performance appraisal of mobile devices, is one of the most popular tools at present to know the the most powerful Android phones yet; but it's not the only one, because it's available GeekBench or 3DBench, among others. However, throughout the history of the smartphone industry there have been cases of cheating or switching to these tests and it seems that lately AnandTech is holding Midatek allegedly for its bench, but there is a meaning.
AnandTech wrote an article accusing MediaTek of increase the performance of its systems when a cellphone gets a bench, something the company itself confirmed and wanted to explain. The release stated that the processor manufacturer installs an XML file in place of controlling its firmware configured to retrieve applications and activate your high performance during performance testing. On its own, MediaTek has released a statement in support of its benchmarking practices, giving its perspective on performance tests and explaining how they approach the bench.

“MediaTek follows accepted industry standards and hopes to benchmark well represent the capabilities of our chipsets. We work closely with global device manufacturers when it comes to testing and comparing devices with our chipsets, but ultimately, products have the flexibility to program their devices as they see fit. Of course, in real-world days there are many factors that will determine the performance of the chipsets, ”the manufacturer said in his statement.
MediaTek increases the performance of its processors when the mobile gets a bench
The manufacturer says its chipsets are "designed and increase capacity and efficiency providing the best user experience and extending battery life. "In a position to maximize the performance of its processors when a cellphone gets a benchmark, the company says the following:" We believe to demonstrate the full power of the chipset in benchmark testing complies with the procedures of other companies and gives consumers an accurate picture of the performance of the devices. ”
Therefore, MediaTek defends itself who say that increasing the processor performance during bench testing is a common industry practice. Or in a statement they confirm that smartphone manufacturers are using their processors, and that they decide to install them or not, they know about firmware changes changing bench test. The problem with all of this is that using these converted numbers to compare them to another mobile phone that didn't use the conversion is not entirely customary.
On the other hand, it's also important to highlight that benches, tests used to measure smartphone capabilities, they are completely reliable as they can't show the average performance of a smartphone, they only show a point of great power they can reach.
