關於三星N3的跑分事件, 小弟看了一些外媒資料, 與大家分享:

-The Verge

"The questionable tactics don't directly affect customers per se, but
unfortunately it seems the press will need to pay a much closer eye to
Samsung's benchmark scores from now on."


-Engadget

20 percent
Whether or not the company responds, we don't envy its position -- it's hard
to form an alliance devoted to accurate mobile benchmarking when you're
accused of doctoring results.

scores
“While not completely deceptive, it was a little misleading and we had
little reason to believe this would change in the Samsung Galaxy Note 3.
Looks like we were right.”
“No gallery, no video player, no browser. Whether or not Samsung is being
shady in providing users with the highest possible performance of their
hardware — despite not being available in normal use –  is up to you.”


-GSMArena

20-50%
While it’s not 100% clear what the boosting involves, by the looks of it
Samsung targets benchmarks specifically – if Samsung had included some
games, we might take this as a special optimization, but with just benchmarks
it seems like trying to cheat.

SVP Calls ‘Shenanigans
What’s strange is that even without the artificial benchmark boost, the
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 specs still performed well, and even better than the LG
G2. In other words, the artificial boost was not only devious on Samsung’s
part, but also totally unnecessary. After all, who purchases a smartphone
solely off benchmark scores?


-androidbeat

“Still, I can’t help but be angry. The Note 3 is stupid fast as is, why
tarnish it like this?”
“I just remembered that several days ago Samsung announced that they started
a consortium dedicated to mobile benchmarking so that the industry can be
fairer. The irony is thick.”


-PhoneArena

Basically, it looks like more evidence that we should put less stock in
benchmark numbers and more in real-world performance.


-TechnoBuffalo

“In response to previous accusations, Samsung unsurprisingly said it wasn’t
up to any shenanigans; this new report suggests Samsung knows exactly what it
’s doing.”
“ In today’s quad-core world, benchmarking scores mean about as much as
giving water to a fish, but folks still take them seriously. Samsung, it
seems, takes them a little too seriously, even when the inflated scores don’
t contribute to the real-world experience.”


-Android Authority

report proves
With all that in mind, we can only wonder why a mobile player like Samsung
still feels the need to employ such tactics – whether there’s a different
reason this kind of performance boost happens during benchmark tests, Samsung
should at least have explained it beforehand.
At the end of the day, benchmarks alone will not help sell handsets – and in
Samsung’s case that shouldn’t even be a problem considering that some of
its flagship handsets sell themselves.



-Talk Android

In the end, it really doesn’t matter to me, and it shouldn’t matter to you.
Benchmarks are useless in the real world, but the fact that Samsung is
cheating at something isn’t going to bode well. It will be interesting to
see how they respond to this.


-Tech Hive

Samsung already has a smeared recording for flubbing its processor
performance benchmarks on the international variant of the Galaxy S4 back in
July, so this isn't exactly good news for its performance reputation. Even if
it doesn't do too much to hurt Samsung's image, it still gives some credence
to the idea that benchmarks aren't really a good measure of what matters to
consumers these days.



------------------------------------------------------------------------------

結論:

1. 多數媒體有提到三星並非第一次這樣搞, 上次是S4
2. 有些媒體有提到這樣的公司到底要怎麼去組一個跑分公平化的聯盟 (球員兼裁判?)
3. 有些媒體認為這是大是大非, 甚至用了cheating 等負面字眼
3. 有些媒體認為現在趨勢跑分已經不是重點, 甚至不會影響消費者 (這我不認為)
4. 有些媒體想不透為什麼三星要做這種沒有幫助的事情
5. 個人認為這對三星形象又再一次創傷
