The other day, it was revealed that the game Optimizing Service (GOS), a native app installed in Samsung’s Galaxy smartphone, has included the behavior of about 10,000 apps including non-game apps in the throttling target list. I told you about the matter.
This problem has become quite a big fuss overseas, and Samsung has suddenly made a comment “to be fixed”, but in response to this series of problems, benchmark measurement site / app Geekbench took strict measures. It is a pattern.
Reported by Android Police, according to thisStarting today, Geekbench will remove the entire Galaxy S22 series and all four generations of Galaxy S series devices, including the S21, S20 and S10, from the site.I told him that.
Below is a comment from Geekbench on this:
Earlier this week, we recognized an issue where Samsung’s Game Optimizing Service (GOS) slows down the performance of games and applications. GOS uses the application’s identifier to control (or not throttle) the application, not the behavior of the application.Major benchmarking applications, including Geekbench, are not throttled by this service and we consider this a form of benchmarking operation.
This GOS only controls the CPU throttling, that is, the operation when using the application, and is not like clocking up / booth when measuring the benchmark score.
However, as I mentioned earlier,While the behavior of 10,000 apps is controlled, the fact that only the benchmark measurement app is not controlled is effectively a deliberate manipulation of the benchmark score.That is the purpose of this time.
Certainly, the list of throttling targets includes a large number of apps that do not require throttling by any means, such as docomo and au genuine apps and LINE, which are almost all that you use in your daily life. I feel like I can’t complain even if it is said that the application is the target.
As for the Galaxy Note and A series models, it seems that the test will not be affected, so it will not be changed.
By the way, as mentioned above, Samsung is said to take measures such as making apps controlled by GOS controllable in future updates, but according to Android Police, Geekbench’s current policy is patched to fix the problem. Even after that, the operated device will remain excluded from the list forever.
In other words, all the models deleted this time will not be reposted on Geekbench in the future,De facto “permanent expulsion”It seems that it will be.
By the way, there are several models that have been excluded from Geekbench in the past, but basically most of them are from Chinese manufacturers.
This time, I understand that excluding the flagship of the No. 1 manufacturer of smartphone shares is a strict stance that Geekbench’s “benchmark operation” is unforgiving.
