There the minimum frequencies of both the “big” and the “little” clusters were raised. The OnePlus 3 cheat was of a similar nature, though not identical. The official statement from OnePlus claims that this way it shows the performance potential of the 5. Then your claim is that Apple 'cheats' in benchmark - this is absolutely false, theres nothing Apple can do to make Intel/AMD CPU single threaded scores more comparable to M1s.

Note that the “secret build” listed in the chart has a different package name, so it isn’t detected. So, when compared to the OnePlus 6T, the OnePlus 7 Pro offers a better CPU, better GPU, more RAM, faster storage, higher battery capacity, faster charging, and faster file. Not all benchmarks are affected, here’s the list of benchmarks that OnePlus checks for. It’s when GPU benchmarks are run that the heat becomes too much – the back of the phone was 50° C! Note that GPU clocks aren’t changed, but keeping the “little” cluster at max speed is enough to push thermals over the limit.
Since the manipulation was discovered, Geekbench banned both the OnePlus 9 and 9. Interestingly, in CPU-only benchmarks like Geekbench, the OnePlus 5 didn’t heat up that much faster. This, in a way, means that OnePlus was manipulating benchmark scores that were not reflective of real-world usage. With cheating disabled, the “little” cluster spent only a quarter of the time at max frequency, so this also makes performance more consistent. That’s enough to push the multi-core benchmark results as high as they are, single-core results are unchanged (still, most people just look at the multi-core result). The “big” cluster is not affected by this. This isn’t an overclock, but it does disable thermal throttling. When a benchmark is detected, the 5 locks the “little” cluster of its Snapdragon 835 chipset at its highest possible clockspeed – 1.9GHz. Huawei smartphones use advanced technologies such as AI to optimize the performance of hardware, including the CPU, GPU and NPU.

Hit the source link for the full details, here’s the TL DR version. Huawei always prioritizes the user experience rather than pursuing high benchmark scores especially since there isn’t a direct connection between smartphone benchmarks and user experiences. The OnePlus 5 was caught cheating on benchmarks in order to achieve its chart-topping performance.Ī detailed investigation by XDA-Developers discovered the mechanism of the cheat.
