Oppo Said to Be Cheating Benchmarks on the Oppo F7

Oppo Electronics, the Chinese major, has now caught cheating benchmarks on its latest smartphone Oppo F7. A new report coming from Vietnam stated that Oppo is apparently clocking the speed of eight cores to the maximum 2GHz, which further yields better benchmark results as compared to the competition. For the unaware, the MediaTek Helio P60 SoC comes with similar hardware as the Snapdragon 660 SoC and Snapdragon 636 SoC, and the only Helio P60 SoC device available in the market is the Oppo F7. In every benchmark test on the web, the Helio P60 chipset achieved better scores in not equal scores than the Snapdragon 660 SoC or Snapdragon 636 SoC devices with aplomb. And the reason behind this is Oppo cheating the benchmark apps by increasing the clock speed of all cores to the maximum level.

To recall, the MediaTek Helio P60 SoC was unveiled at the MWC 2018 event in February. The chipset is manufactured on 12nm TSMC FinFET process. The CPU of the P60 includes four ARM Cortex A53 cores and four ARM Cortex A73 cores, all clocked at 2GHz. The chipset works in tandem with Mali-G72 MP3 GPU with a maximum clock speed of 800MHz.

A Vietnam tech publication, Genk.vn ran the popular benchmark tests on the Oppo F7 and the Snapdragon 660-powered Xiaomi Mi 6X. But the real question which arose was how the Oppo F7 is getting higher scores when compared to other devices? To verify that, they developed a ‘Hello World’ application with the application package name as ‘com.AnTuTu.ABenchMark.’ They ran the sample application without a single line of code and surprised to see all the eight cores pushed to the maximum of 2GHz, which confirmed that Oppo is cheating the benchmark tests.
