Let us drop a few instances, which you’ll relate to quite nicely. Yeah, It does and while you are still puzzled with the question, “why should you care?”. As a result, these benchmarks have been given the label across the industry as 'inaccurate or inappropriate benchmarks' that don’t accurately represent a user’s experience. Many of them simply load up all of the cores to their maximum frequency, which phones never operate at other than benchmarks. These benchmarks are simply run to see the fastest theoretical performance that the system could be tested at, without regard to battery life, operating systems, applications or real-world use cases. In recent times, these benchmarks have been much influential and breeding ground for many widespread myths, remember the more megapixel-better camera thing? or the more cores better processor? These are some famous examples of how benchmarks can create myths in minds and often deviate you from the concepts from which you should be judging a mobile device. What do those AnTuTu & GeekBench Scores Actually Mean?

Ever tried to go deeper and look at what they consider, while giving certain scores to a device? and what they don’t? How significant and influential these benchmark scores should be is very crucial to your understanding, perplexed? Don’t worry pal, we got you covered. You definitely would have heard many ‘benchmarking scores’ from AnTuTu or GeekBench being the most famous ones. Now the purpose of this writing is very clear so that next time you come around those flashy ‘ Benchmark Scores’, you really understand what they mean, their significance and then judge a device. Of course in the race to prove who’s best and by how much, there has been a widespread proliferation of misunderstood and biased benchmarking in the mobile industry. Starting from the same spirit to measure and quantify the performance of PCs to servers, and in the last couple of years, Mobile Benchmarks have gained significant ground to compare smartphones and tablets from all over the industry. Benchmarking is not a new term in computing world, It has been around for decades.
