![]() ![]() What’s worse is that OnePlus isn’t the only manufacturer discovered doing this. I’ve included the multi-core throttling results discovered by XDA, but you can view the single-core and a comparison of the two on the official report. It wasn’t based on the CPU workload, but rather on the app’s package name, which the hidden build could fool. OnePlus was makings it CPU governor more aggressive, resulting in a practical artificial clock speed floor in Geekbench that wasn’t there in the hidden Geekbench build. Geekbench and XDA teamed up to determine once and for all if OnePlus was cheating by targeting applications and the answer is yes, yes they are. XDA Developers believes that OnePlus is targeting specific applications like AnTuTu and Geekbench to keep clock speeds up in order to pump up their benchmark scores. Our editor-in-chief, Mario Serrafero, was using Qualcomm Trepn and the Snapdragon Performance Visualizer to monitor how Qualcomm “boosts” the CPU clock speed when opening apps, and noticed that certain apps on the OnePlus 3T were not falling back down to their normal idling speeds after opening. The site reports that when attempting to understand how Qualcomm achieves faster opening speeds on the Snapdragon 821, some odd behavior was discovered with the OnePlus 3T that didn’t show up in other phones powered by the same processor. ![]() Now XDA Developers is reporting that OnePlus hasn’t given up its old tricks when it comes to targeting benchmark apps to affect the outcome of the phone’s performance.
