This is hilarious. It's one thing to scrutinize benchmark testings/methologies in general, but it's quite entertaining to see Apple fanbois citing a highly biased, inaccurate article from AppleInsider as if they have some legitimate case.
Take for instance, DED's attack on Tom's Guide's supposedly "cherry picked" GeekBench 3 score:
"Toms Guide not only selectively picked one number to proclaim Samsung had "crushed the competition" in benchmarks (after failing to even better last year's iPhone in a series of "real world" tests), but also obtained a score for the Galaxy S6 that is wildly higher than those recorded by Geekbench from its other users.
The site reported a multicore score of 5,283, but Geekbench browser says that phone (Samsung Exynos 7420 Galaxy S6, 1500 MHz, 8 cores) actually scores 3925. That's a tremendous difference in scores from the same benchmark being run on the same phone. It's also completely out of line with the score discrepancy it reported from other vendors."
The Exynos 7240 runs at 2.1 Ghz (A57) and 1.5 Ghz (A53) and DED, blissfully ignorant -- perhaps willfully -- of the two quad architecture, criticizes TG for jacking up the S6 benchmark figures. TG's figures are measured correctly and are based on A57 quad core, whereas DED somehow managed to fanagle a GeekBench figure based on slower A53 quad core and use it as a basis for his usual misleading lies. DED is quite well known for making stuff up and misrepresenting anything that is not pro-Apple, so I won't even dispute the rest of the article point by point. It's just so laughable that there are folks out there who take DED seriously.
