yeah.. the benchmark should only be used under controlled environment.
Posting benchmark scores is really almost pointless.
Unlike desktop CPUs, our phones are PASSIVELY cooled, so we are at the mercy of the CPU and Ambient temperature (ie, if the CPU heats up, we have NO OTHER WAYS to cool it except force it to run at lower frequencies where as on desktop, with active cooling, the fans/coolant can go faster to carry away more heat keeping the CPUs at a constant operating temperature).
To make benchmark really meaning full, you will need to operate under the following conditions:
1. Run in airplane mode
2. disable all background operations
3. Note the ambient temperature of the ROOM or environment
4. Cool the phone to a known operating temperature
5. Run the benchmark and observe if thermal throttling kicked in or not and for how long
repeat the same benchmark several times UNDER THE SAME EXACT conditions from steps 1~5
then take the average scores in order to really use the benchmark to judge performance...
Unless you work for Toms Hardware or Anantech, it's really time consuming and lot of preparation required to do a "simple" benchmark and make their results MEANINGFUL :angel:
