In the past two days, if you look at the latest flagship-related information on the Internet, you will definitely see a very interesting content, that is, cheating. In the lateral comparison test of the Snapdragon 8 Gen1 mobile phone, the installation package and file name of GeekBench5 were slightly modified, and the result was that the running score of different mobile phones changed compared with when the name was not changed, and the only thing that did not change was the moto X30. This raises the question, is this application-specific optimization a cheat? Many people may only notice the change in scores without paying attention to more details.
Renaming the evaluation software is not new, whether it is on PC or mobile phones have long been tried, and the score change is expected, and even a debate has long been formed, it is difficult to define whether this is cheating or targeted optimization. For example, many people sneer at the optimization of running scores, thinking that this is cheating, but if you use technical means to improve the picture quality or fluency of a specific game, it is completely an act of improving the game experience. Even so, targeted optimization between mainstream hardware and software is now ubiquitous, and whitelisted targeted optimization covers the life cycle of the product.
Therefore, it is not advisable to say that the behavior of mobile phone manufacturers optimizing for applications is cheating, and the key is to see what the results are caused by this. If we mislead our purchase of products, it is certainly not advisable, but if the original god is stabilized at 60 frames, it is estimated that this "cheating" should be more popular. As for the directional optimization for GeekBench5, it seems to be in a vague area, after all, it has not changed everyone's perception of Snapdragon 8 Gen1, but has become a means of wrestling between mobile phone brands.
After the evaluation software running score renaming test, the rice evaluation also made a comparison of the game frame rate and heat. Judging from the follow-up results, in fact, everyone is still at the same level, and none of them is an exception - even the 90 frames of the glory of the king cannot be stable, and the rice bluntly says that a 2,000-dollar Snapdragon 870 mobile phone will not be like this. The performance scheduling in the daily use of the Snapdragon 8 Gen1 mobile phone is also poor, not as good as the Snapdragon 870, which has led to even the daily use experience, compared with the previous generation of flagships is also somewhat retrogressive.
In this case, the moto X30 is still a stable performance model, and no matter what the situation, let the Snapdragon 8 Gen1 as much as possible. There is even a very strange phenomenon, that is, in the performance-eating masterpiece of the original god, the moto X30 opens the performance mode as well as the unopened, and the performance scheduling and frame rate have hardly changed. It seems that moto is to let the mobile phone default has been in full fire state, you just need to do the test, it must be the strongest performance of the one, regardless of the scene, regardless of the application, this is the result of the moto to get, the difference is only who will find it.
Simply put, for the GeekBench5 running score optimization, the test results will not affect everyone to buy products, after this review is launched, netizens who want to buy the machine will change to buy moto X30? The odds are slim. It's purely a competition between mobile phone brands for who has better data and who ranks a little higher. For example, Chen Jin, general manager of Lenovo Mobile Phone China, is particularly concerned, and also took the opportunity to publicize a wave, saying that snapdragon 8 Gen1 is not so bad, but the product ideas of each company are different, and the moto X30 has its own direction.
So through a series of performance optimizations like moto, has the experience really improved? If what you're talking about is performance, that's certainly the case. But it's not hard to see that the moto X30 is also the warmest of several phones, which means that if you're talking about using the experience that also includes temperature, it may not be the best one. If you add battery life, as the flagship of the Snapdragon 8 Gen1 with the largest battery capacity, its battery life is shorter than that of competitors, let alone the best experience.
When many people are concerned about changing the name of the running score application to cause the running score to change, they ignore more details. For example, Snapdragon 8 Gen1 is destined to have a choice in performance, heat, and endurance, such as other mobile phones pay more attention to temperature control and endurance scheduling in different scenarios, such as the battery life of moto X30 in the evaluation. These overlooked parts are also key factors affecting the mobile phone experience. In contrast, a simple running point optimization is not a big deal.
