It is even limiting the performance of popular social media applications and web browsers such as Instagram, Snapchat, and Microsoft Edge. While the company didnt exactly cheat to have high scores.
According to the publication, the OnePlus 9 Pro is limiting the performance of the Snapdragon 888 SoC in all the applications from Google and Microsoft. If you recall last week, Geekbench delisted the OnePlus 9 Pro due to performance manipulation.
#Oneplus geekbench over cheating full
AnandTech has found that the OnePlus 9 Pro isn’t making full use of the SoC in other applications including all the popular apps that you see on the Google Play Store and the ones that many people use on a daily basis. Upon deeper inspection, it turned out that the OnePlus 9 Pro is using the Cortex-X1 core and/ or the full potential of the Snapdragon 888 in only popular benchmarking apps. OnePlus 9 Pro limiting chipset performance in all popular apps However, the phone used the full potential of the SoC in all other benchmarking apps including AnandTech’s own applications. According to the publication, the OnePlus 9 Pro uses the Cortex-X1 core in Vivaldi only during the first test on a fresh install. Surprisingly, even these cores ran at 2.0GHz instead of their maximum frequency of 2.41GHz.
Instead, the phone used the Cortex-A78 cores. However, when they ran the test again, the phone did not use the Cortex-X1 core. The Multi Core score delta between scores when running GeekBench 4 with and without the cheating mechanism can be up to 6.5, though on average it is of around 5. In this test, the OnePlus 9 Pro used the Cortex-X1 core and delivered a score of 107 points, which is in line with the other Snapdragon 888 powered smartphones.
To analyse the weird behaviour, AnandTech ran a popular benchmarking app called Vivaldi on the device.
