There has been a lot of suspicion surrounding Samsung and their alleged juicing of benchmark scores for their top-tier phones. It looks like we won't have to worry about falsely-enhanced benchmarks anymore, as AnTuTu just released Benchmark X Edition, which will fight “score fraud.”
Not to point at Samsung solely, because pretty much every manufacturer is guilty of making their devices look better than they really are— that's just how marketing works. But with this new version of AnTuTu, they certainly have the consumers' minds at heart, wanting to keep the numbers as straightforward and simple to analyze as possible.
Here's what an AnTuTu dev had to say about the changes:
We know every phone-maker hopes to adopt a Benchmark which is good for him, even to develop a Benchmark by themselves. But, AnTuTu Benchmark is not the advertising media of phone makers, we only do service for the users. Therefore, in order to give users a more current and real performance feedback, AnTuTu Labs will release a new X-version named AnTuTu X Benchmark.
