HTC confirmed dispersal One (M8) for tests

Testing presented last 

week HTC One (M8) gave quite interesting results - the same version of the new items sold in different regions , could show absolutely no matching estimates in one benchmark. HTC officially explained the situation optimization.

Last week, the newspaper, and even ordinary people already get their hands on fresh flagship Taiwanese began to publish the results of testing it in AnTuTu and other popular benchmarks. It turned out that in Europe and the U.S. fall options One (M8) with one modification Snapdragon chip 801 from Qualcomm (MSM8974AB), and in a number of Asian countries - with another, slightly more productive (MSM8974AC). And the latter have a slightly different code name - M8x.

But the most interesting discovery was that the European version of One (M8) bypass in AnTuTu and other tests Samsung Galaxy S5, in which the chip is similar to the embodiment of the Asian flagship HTC! Thus completely identical "Americans" with the same MSM8974AB show more modest results . Worth mentioning figures 'Asians' in AnTuTu - they are simply amazing , smart bypass competitors down.

Such strange discrepancy between "hardware" and the estimates caused many to check One (M8) in special versions of benchmarks designed specifically to bypass the " deception." Last year, HTC and many other first-tier manufacturers were caught specifically for overclocking the tests because many creators of these applications have released their special options. 

Sweeping Asian HTC One (M8) in AnTuTu X showed the result in 27 171 score , he's in the usual AnTuTu scored 38,815 points. With the "Europeans" the situation is similar .

Surprisingly, HTC responded quickly enough to CNet publication on the subject , confirming the presence of acceleration for benchmarks in One (M8)! They called it " high performance mode » (High Performance Mode), created for applications in which the maximum speed is more important than lower power consumption . Moreover, the absence of such acceleration in the U.S. version, which is why they get low marks in the tests will be fixed with the next updates .

Unlike Samsung, remove overclocking processors for benchmarks in the firmware based on Android 4.4.2, the Taiwanese do not consider it cheating. It does not affect the performance of the smartphone does not cause him any harm , and therefore it can be considered one of the regular modes , applicable in some situations . In principle , HTC can not only activate it for testing , but also in some games , if required. The company promises the ability to disable High Performance Mode option from the developer.
