Samsung - where performance matters

[Grieve]

This is pretty crazy (sad). Samsung apparently built code into their SoCs (System on a Chip) in phones and tablets to detect when benchmark software is being run (specific benchmark app names are embedded in the firmware), and bump up the clock speed of the CPU when it is. In other words...they get high benchmark scores that will NEVER be used for apps or games. Why? Because running at such a high clock speed would lower battery life. Talk about gaming the system...
