[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Rushing:
I can get my m8 over 40K with a few minor tweaks to SQLLite libs but the performance isn't "perceivable". Bench's well though :)

That's why I have always said, ignore benchmarks as they can be skewed easily and isn't a direct correlation with perceivable user experience.

Especially HTC who is known for boosting performance in benchmark apps.

Screenshot? or did it not happen?

Yo trook, not much really just a new radio. and because this is a phone that might be important lol

IMO , benchmarks do accurately display a score which reflects the users' combined device performance and device health, which of course bares a direct relation to the device's hardware and software.

Why bother cheating on antutu tests if they are complete trash??

Why not just show everyone that they are trash??.

Why not just debunk the whole testing system altogether? BenchMarx test mean nothing or not that much? well I think it matters a little bit. I mean If I didnt care about processing speed I could have just stayed with my old devices =] You see more processing speed better scores==>liquid buttuh on the screen, whilst transitioning through all scenarios throughout the day... My SGS2 gets about 14850 antutu score and it has 2 older processors. It is nice and snappy but its only pushing around 500mb in the /system that is also after I OC'd the kernel to 2.8 mhz to get the score that high... each increment I OC'd the kernel, 1.5-2k, I received a higher antutu score until finally I reached the limit of the device. I am not saying that 2-3 thousand on an antutu score is a big deal in real life scenarios.. But hey if you scored 20k antutu test and were experiencing lag you might put one and one together, I did, and also I had a hunch that it was due to the partial upgrade I did that was lowering my score and overall performance that caused LAG across the phone in all areas...

I got my highest Antutu score on pure stock, but rooted, S-off, Locked, AFTER THE UPGRADE 36890 antutu score before was just over 36400 not much of a difference but it does show up. Oh yeah and BTW I don't care if HTC does cheat by ramping up the cpus... I would ramp up the CPUs before performing a performance test as well. how else would you know how well the device is capable of performing?

so do this test,,, install an app like setcpu and and make the max cpu around 1500MHz. then do an antutu test and you will see a decline in performance.. if not then HTC one is really doing a fine job LoL Most importantly Benchmarks are fun.. It is sad that others seem to feel that it is necessary to spoil that fun, we do not have actual racetracks to race our devices so benchmarks are the only gauge we have to judge the performance of any given device. All we have are digital tests and real life tests. remember to be serious and have fun LEARNING , everything is CHANGING and UPGRADING all the time thanks to developers like those that develope benchmark android packages. But seriously, Think about it, why spend millions playing along when you could spend very little and debunk performance tests and just say we are fast enough, so who cares about incorporating more costly hardware improvements, when we are "fast enough''. I am glad there is a hardware spec-sheet and benchmark race because that would represent the free market.. its a good thing =]

First thing I ever flashed was my 2005 subaru =] Now that was a Rush... flashing a car.. your own car the first time with not much pc experience. made my car run extra smooth too. been flashing or itching to flash ever since peace
