Operations

edit

The company developing the software is based in Chaoyang District, Beijing,[3] and was cofounded by Chinese entrepreneurs Shào Yīng (邵英)[4] and Liáng Bīn (梁斌).[5] They started multi-platform development, releasing an x86 Linux version in May 2021 [6] and a Windows version with ray tracing support in August 2021.[7]

Circumvention

edit

The AnTuTu benchmark is so common that some hardware manufacturers have cheated on the benchmark, which made the benchmark unreliable.[8][9] In response to cheating, AnTuTu created a new benchmark, called AnTuTu X, which made it more difficult for manufacturers to cheat on the benchmark.[9][10][11]

Despite the changes introduced by AnTuTu X, cheating continued to be rampant; for instance, in 2021, AnTuTu delisted (and for three months, banned) the Realme GT after evidence was discovered that the phone was found to have used delay tactics in multithreading performance tests, as well as modifying the reference JPEG image for image processing tests.[12]

Notes

edit

AnTuTu maintains rankings[20] for devices by parameters (CPU, GPU, RAM, UX, total), SoC (only Android; by CPU and GPU), and AI performance (only Android).

AnTuTu (mainland China) maintains rankings for Android devices total (standard version and lite version), SoC total, SoC AI total, positive rating and Android device cost effectiveness (¥4000 and above, ¥3000-¥3999, ¥2000-¥2999, ¥1000-¥1999 and below ¥999). Device total and positive rating for both iPhone and iPad. Vehicle total and SoC total for vehicle head unit. Clicking on any device name does not give extra details, instead it links to jd.com for easy purchase.[21]

Scores obtained on Android and iOS cannot be compared directly[22] due to differences in operating systems: core architecture, different programming languages, and graphical APIs.
