What do you guys make of these benchmark accusations? - AT&T HTC One (M8)

There's a lot of rumors stating that the m8 is basically "cheating" benchmarks to get higher scores. Any thoughts? Personally, I don't care if they are. Everything about this phone is silky smooth and extremely responsive. It might actually be the most responsive phone I've used

As long as it's smooth and fast I could care less about benchmarks. Stopped running them a couple of years ago. They're useless.

I thought kit Kat made it so that doesn't happen anymore (at least on the m7 and gs4, etc)

This.
Probably every OEM is cheating on benchmark (which I find very lame).

This thread was zombied to post a benchmark. But since the topic has been revived: as touched upon by a previous reply, just about everyone cheats on benchmarks. That goes for any computer products (CPUs, video cards, etc.) not just for phones. If a system exists to gauge the performance of a product (and by extension, the product and manufacturers reputation); you can bet that a manufacturer is going to try to game that system.
