Huawei was hit with allegations of cheating on benchmark tests yet again earlier this week and the company has now responded to the fiasco by promising to make the “performance mode” accessible to all users. Huawei’s decision comes after it held “comprehensive discussions” on benchmarking practices with the creators of 3DMark.
A report by Anandtech revealed that the company had optimized its devices to perform better on benchmarks like 3DMark. This prompted 3DMark to delist the Huawei P20, P20 Pro, Nove 3, and Honor Play from its charts. Huawei had apparently coded the devices to detect the software and subsequently ramp up their performance.
A deeper dive revealed that the devices didn’t perform as well on benchmark programs that they didn’t recognize which meant that they weren’t actually identifying when they needed to perform better. The benchmark figures were based on artificial use cases.
Huawei says in a statement that this is due to “an artificial intelligent resource scheduling mechanism,” which is used to optimize resource allocation so that the hardware can show its capabilities to the fullest extent. UL, the makers of 3DMark, are opposed to devices using a “performance mode” by default when they detect a benchmarking application.
Saying that it “respects consumers’ right to choose what to do with their devices,” the company has decided to open up the performance mode to all users in the EMUI 9.0 update. This will essentially let users force their handsets into a higher mode that could offer higher performance in all use cases. The Android 9 Pie-based EMUI 9.0 update is due to arrive for Huawei and Honor devices in the coming months.
