Hello, I bought the phone yesterday (Indian global rom) and after an auto-update for MIUI 12 (12.0.2.0 QFKINXM), installed geekbench 5 and antutu (8.4.4) to try them out. I got substantially lower score in antutu (compared to reviews, YouTube videos) and breakdown showed it's the CPU causing the low score. Upon further benchmarking with Geekbench 5, geekbench 4 and 3dmark it was evident I was getting low score across all the benchmarks where CPU was involved and fantastic score in gpu-only tests (like multiple scenarios in gfxbench).
Then I installed Aida64 and "CPU Monitor" app to further investigate the issue and find possible correlation with temperature etc. The temperature seemed to hover around 55/65 deg while stress testing and 35/40 deg when idle.
I then checked the CPU clockspeed with CPU Monitor app in split screen mode while running Geekbench. I noticed the fastest Kryo gold 485 core (with 2.84 GHz speed never reached the peak). I then ran the Antutu 15-min stress test, and also "CPU Throttle Test" app and "CPU Load Generator" app while keeping the "CPU Monitor" app open in split-screen and noticed the same thing, the most powerful core never reached its peak and mostly runs at idle clock speed of ~800 MHz even when benchmarking. Further, even when that core boosts, it seems capped at 2.4 GHz which is thehe maximum clockspeed of other 3 Kryo gold 485 cores. I know 2.84 GHz isn't supposed to be a sustained speed but the fact that it never reached it and gets capped at the same speed as the other 3 cores implies something is wrong here.
Also I don't really know if the poor score is solely caused by the poor performance of that 2.84 GHz core but I do know from observation that the core isn't running as intended as I explained above.
Now if it's a software issue then i wouldn't worry much as it'll possibly get fixed in next updates or by installing custom rom. But I'm worried if the issue is related to hardware itself (problematic CPU core or heatsink issue).
So I'm writing to know if any of you guys have had such issue or what do u think it is caused from or possible fix. Also
Any constructive suggestion will be highly welcome.
Geekbench 5 CPU score: single core ~600, multi-core ~2200 to 2300
Antutu 8 CPU score: ~90k (sometimes much less)
I have an mi 9t pro with the global miui 12.0.1 and it's similar to what you're saying, so it's not a hardware issue, it's the kernel, it seems that Xiaomi it's very conservative about the battery and throttles the prime core to 2.4ghz max
The only thing that have worked for me was to change the kernel to another one, I'm trying Yuki kernel and it's very good, also there's a new kernel, quantic, and it's very good too, the battery doesn't seems to take a big hit, it's fine for me, like the original kernel, sorry if my english it's not perfect, I'm from Mexico

Hello, thanks for your reply and your English is awesome.
Now regarding the kernel change, all the reviewers and YouTubers benchmarked it in stock and most of them didn't face such problem. Their score seems reasonably similar to each other.
Also do u remember if your CPU benchmark score was substantially lower than standard before changing kernel?

60c is where CPU starts to throttle, prime core never runs at max freq for more than 3-4 mins regardless of temperature to save battery and wear from the heat it's producing on stock kernel.
Also never forget how much a impact ambient temps play a part in phone performance, I've put my phone in the freezer for 5-10 mins and saw a 500 multi core score although that was on a warm 40c Aus summer day lol
As others have suggested try custom rom if you really need max performance although it is completely unnecessary and a waste of time pursuing max performance, take it from someone who's been there.
The result after a month of trying every combination of roms and kernels lol

Thanks for your reply. However my issue is it never reached 2.84 GHz and is artificially capped at 2.4 ghz. I'm not talking about the core being constant at 2.84 GHz.
Also I'm not necessarily looking for absolute max performance as I'm not a gamer but just wanna investigate the issue to make sure it's not hardware issue.
Btw if you've come back to stock rom/kernel, can you pls test and mention the geekbench 5, antutu 8, 3dmark scores for K20 pro?

Before we start, I'm running The latest firmware .757 with Advanced Kernel.
So the problem is the minimum frequency is shown as 1190Mhz but it's running as low as 300Mhz. Tried changing it to show 300Mhz but it keeps changing back to 1190Mhz.
Any ideas? It's not a big problem but it's becoming very annoying.

You don't use all the time the maximum frequency of CPU cores...i've tested myself with the same Antutu CPU Benchmark and i have the same, in IDLE the cpus frequency is 300Mhz, if i start a game that jump to higher frequency, there is nothing stange here.
I'm talking about what these 2 app shows me. My minimum frequency is 300Mhz yet it's showing 1190Mhz.

That mean that the minimal frequency is 300Mhz i don't understand your problem i have the same thing, when the phone is IDLing it's at 300Mhz, that seems legit.
Yes my minimum frequency is 300MHz but both the screenshots is telling me that my minimum frequency is 1190Mhz, which is wrong. My problem is that they're not telling me the correct frequency.

The first one said your current frequency is 300Mhz (your phone IDLE) and minimum 1190, this app seems just broken or wrong.
The 2nd clearly show the minimum is 300Mhz and the current is 422,4Mhz
I trust Antutu CPU Master because i have the same results.
Try a different CPU app, like set cpu, see what that says, i think it could just be a glitch on that CPU app.
Chances are it's reporting it wrongly and it'll be down to the app, if it was on 1190 all the time your battery life would really suffer for it.
Also try to alter the governor in the app, could be that on another one like interactive or power save it'll yield different results.
This is because of Qualcomm MP-Decision that controls the hotplugging, that tells the CPU to boost MIN freq to 1190 Mhz to fake UI smoothness and response, about 2-3 second then ramp quickly down to 300 Mhz, and then do the same over and over again. Good for performance, bad for battery.
This is also a part of Qualcomms own Project Butter solution - using / forcing the device into overdrive mode w/o any thoughts on heat generation / stuttering by nearly instant & uneven shifting between frequencies, thanks to a built-in touch boost feature that is boosting the phone to 1190 Mhz in Z1 case, was at 1026 Mhz frequency spectrum at Z / devices that used the same QC shipset as the Z.
This is fixed by @faux123 in his rewritten Intelliplug module, that conserves / keeps the performance (even improves it..) and boosting battery life with a more natural step pattern through your device various CPU clock frequencies.

I have the same problem. Can't even set my min frequency to any other then 300MHz.
Would like to raise it a bit becose sometimes its freezing when starting the camera using the physica button.
I can only change the max frequency.
Any help Would be very appreciated.
Thank you
Z1 4.4.4 stock & locked bootloader
I had the same problem, just try the No-frills cpu control it works for me (when your phone is idle it will always running at 300 because it is trying to save battery)
I just updated like 2 hours ago, installed a few apps got root and twrp on it.
Installed antutu just to check the score and wow a score i got with encrypted on.

My score on 5.0.1 was 43k which i thought was ok but this new score with many apps installed and 10+ in recent was not bad at all.
What a snappy beast i got, much better then what i got when it was released!
thats a normal score on a nexus 6, 5.0, 5.01, 5.02, or 5.1. it hasnt changed. your score of 43000 was just a very low score to begin with.

Well 43k was my score when i brought the device with 5.0 on it.
To me this is a huge step forward, also the performance of the device is much better now.

i was seeing 53000+ on 5.0, stock. your 43000 score was a very very low nexus 6 score. 53000+ is the normal score for a nexus 6, regardless of what your score was before. i bet it was so low because youre benchmarking it wrong. if your cpu is set to max cpu speed and min cpu speed, then thats the wrong way to bench. as your phone then decides what speed itll use. youre supposed to set your cpu speed for max cpu/max cpu, so it only tests your max cpu speed, so it will only give you your highest scores. otherwise, you have no idea what cpu speed its actually testing. obviously 43000 it wasnt testing your max cpu speed.

43k was stock without any modifications to cpu kernel or anything that should interfer with the benchmark, same as this screenie. stock settings all the way.
Why is it everytime i post something here that all people take it like this is my first time using an android phone? I have build roms before - 2.3.4 on HTC Desire - 2.3.4 on LG Optimus 2x and a cupcake 1.5 rom for a huawei and i have also build 5.0 aosp for this Nexus 6.
My experience with this device at 43k was when i was omw home with only antutu installed on phone and not even connected it to pc yet.
I think what he is saying is other people, like myself, got in the fifties with a standard stock 5. 0 device.
If it really was a per device issue then I would think I would get in the sixties on 5.1 , but I don't think that's going to happen. i. e. you going from 5 .0 to 5. 1 did not jump your stats up by 10k.
But I am glad to hear it resolved your issues.

well, you were doing something wrong then, whatever it was. 43000 is a nexus 5 antutu score, lol. btw, me, and everyone i know with a nexus 6 hit 53000+ on stock, while still stock. btw, just because you can build a rom, doesnt mean that you know everything android, as simple noobs can build aosp from source, and add things to it.
43k is low. I normally get around 55k.
I've had 34k before that was because the battery was low and limiting the cpu speed.
Not sure how a discussion of Nationality started in a phone benchmark thread? Either way, it is unneeded and removed. Please stop.
Back to talking about meaningless numbers now....
Simm is correct - 53k is average for stock unrooted.
I can get this on my wife's phone all day without trying.
Mine did the reverse. On 5.01 I was at 53k. On 5.1 I am at 36k.

Cause that is how they are always.
You must be able to see it from his post, he is assuming this is my first time with technology, and talking down to me like i have lived in a cave somewhere and got this created account date by accident.
Just to add a bit of confirmation (on one side) to this thread, I never got into the 50s on my stock nexus 6 until I removed encryption from the device and switched kernels. My values were consistent with what has been posted. I'm not sure how you can run Antutu wrong on a stock, unrooted, and locked bootloader device, unless you're running it while it's charging or when the battery is dead. I did neither and was scoring in the mid 40s.
For some reason I'm getting scores of around 44,000 in stock 5.1 (rooted). Prior to flashing 5.1 I was getting around 52,000. Antutu's 3D tests aren't looking as smooth as they were before, either.
This is with stock 5.1 kernel.
Edit: OK, how silly of me. Now that I've actually tested it on a fuller battery I'm getting low 50s again.
hey guys today I bought Z3+ and got very dissapointed : its gets hot very fast so frequency drops to minimal and heavy games lag a lot,I get around 10 fps in PPSSPP .
In fact I cant use phone at all. Any ideas guys?
Try a repair with PC-Companion.
ok thanks will try that
anyone got same issue? Everyone knows that Z3+ is a hot smartphone but why only my one reduces frequency? or I'm wrongly informed?
still no luck :/

It's Asphalt 8, right? Also post few more information. FW version, thermal screenshot from CPU-Z before you start the game, the same screenshot when it starts to lag & how long it takes to get there.
Use trepn trust it more than cpu-z. Overlays only 4 cores but you can profile general usage to one you get your lag. I just hope that software will eventualy fix this and it ain't a hardware design fault.
This overheating issue is widely known due to the "hardware design", reduction of battery size to make it thinner, waterproofing to reduce any outside particle from affecting inside (and sadly vice versa) and the chip itself. Subsequent software fixes may be used to throttle or limit cpu usage in order to control the heating but at the cost of speed of the device.

Got to Settings > Backup & Restore > Factory Defaults (be sure to mark "wipe internal storage"). After that your battery lasts longer and the overheating is greatly reduced. Data on your SD card is not touched. All data on the internal storage gets removed.
Have you guys seen the way the CPU is working it ain't hardware. You sit at home screen with no running apps and 6 cores are active jumping from Basle line to 1.56 GHz and CPU load goas between 4% to 14 at idle so its CPU management not CPU. The reason they throttled it was to lessen the damage done by heat till the figure how to optimize the governor and thermal management. This is also the reason we don't have 5.1.1 as I think there really trying to fix this. Anyone here have a z2 or Z3 heat was an issue till they patched it. Also 6 cores is sruped to use at idle.

Exactly, the problem with the 800 and 801 vanished after a 2-3 updates that came 2-3 months into the phone's support. We are still in launch phase of the Z3+ in some regions
Just to add in they need to invent a new govener that is tailers to 8 core big little chips

so guys you mean that 810 isnt supported in games?
P.S. resetting with pc companion helped a bit
Everything is supported just not optimized yet so some intence games get hot and laggy. This is why we need Sony's new update or even better a custom from and kernel.

Hi all!
See this news article: https://www.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5-benchmark-cheating-reviews/
Long story short - all cores on a test device were bumped to max performance (and stayed there) whenever a benchmark app was run.
This was done by identifying the app name (package name). Very simple and crude implementation.
Graph of performance when running a custom build app with no identifiers:

**** move OnePlus! Still ordered the phone though :fingers-crossed:
Are you sure this is called cheating? It's really the max performance of the phone, and it doesn't overclock itself. And yeah, it's a bad move to identify those apps, but I wouldn't call it cheating.
The article suggests its cheating, thats there wording Personally i partly agree with you though. But locking at max is not every day behaviour
Have OP learned nothing?!
I can care less about the benchmarks. I care about smoothness and ram management. I hope it is better than my Pixel XL. Time will tell.

i ordered OP5 right after the launch event.. and i couldnt care less for the benchmark scores..
yet, this is cheating..
i dont think most people want to know how the device performs at its peak before burning itself.. instead actual real-life performance is the focus..
it (the "cheat") gives false impression/expectation on performance to those non-techie people with non-normal/in-lab-only usage pattern..
and if you think this is not cheating, why not apply it to all use cases instead of only target at particular benchmark apps, if its such a wonderful behaviour to have?
Battery Life Only Benchmark that Matters
Since the 801 -- which still speeds along my 1+1 plenty fast for me -- I typically skip all the benchmark scores (boring!) and look for the one thing that matters most to me -- the battery life experienced by the reviewer. And according to ArsTech*, the battery life on the 1+5 is stellar!

makes sense.
But this phone still showing hardware benchmarking, I mean they don't edit the software to change the numbers.
If other phone makers don't do this, well I understand.
But in theory with a custom kernel, and cpu governer, it's possible to max out the cpu/gpu and using the phone like so. with 30 min of battery...

The cheating is something other phone makers have done before. Samsung did it a few years ago but stopped when they were found out. One Plus have been found out and continued to do it, Google have even called them out on it and told them to stop. They're maxing the CPU to give an inflated benchmark result and make them top of the benchmark scores.
OnePlus is a bunch of developers that got together and made their own phone right? Soooooo is it a surprise they bumped the scores a little? Who freakin cares it's an awesome phone. (I'd prolly not be as pleased if I had the jelly scrolling issue that is "normal"......)
I'll never understand this "cheating" nonsense...benchmarking a computer or any type of technology's CPU/GPU, etc was done to gauge the potential of that hardware. When people go to sites like 3dmark and look at the leader charts, those PCs are overclocked beyond your wildest imagination using things like liquid nitrogen and dry ice...the video cards are striped of their stock coolers and have exotic water cooling blocks installed.....if you simply wanted to benchmark something at it's basic stock speed, the scores would literally be the same across every product using that CPU/GPU...what's the point? OP sets their phone to go to max performance when benchmarking and it's cheating?? Samsung used to get cherry picked Snapdragons in the past that were able to clock higher than the rated spec safely...is that cheating? If OP clocked the Snapdragon 835 higher than it's rated spec out of the box, would that be considered cheating? Are all the millions of enthusiasts who overclock their PCs to achieve the highest possible score in 3dmark also cheating?
All in all, this article tells us about just how good Oneplus 5 optimizations happen to be. When the Cupertino phone company can drive the heck out of optimizations between each of their software & hardware components we should thank that at least there now is an Android phone team that does the same.
Plus the Benchmarks are not there to imitate real life usage, they are there to see how well software and hardware components are intertwined to pull up a Score based on performance. Real life usage can only be perceived by a real life usage and in that department OnePlus 5 is second to None Literally.
Not really. Any phone manufacturer could easily do the same thing here (increase clock speeds when benchmarks are detected). There's nothing really being "optimized" by OnePlus.

I have the Redmi Note 11 6GB/64GB variant (bought it less than a week ago). I got to doing some benchmarking of my phone. I first checked the benchmark scores for my device on various sites and YouTube videos.
First, the Geek Bench 5 scores should be (according to YT reviewers' videos and other websites) around 364 for single core and 1500 for multi core . My device's score was 171 for single core and 911 for multicore.
Then I performed the AnTuTu benchmark and the scores should be around 270k but my score was 173847. Now that's a lot of difference, I wouldn't mind if the score was like 220k or something but 270k to 170k is a lot of difference.
I performed the benchmark tests in the first place because I was facing lag even while using Instagram and scrolling through WhatsApp and Telegram, I have restarted my device several times, the free RAM is always around or more than 3GB, I don't have many apps installed either. I have more than 50% of my storage free, nothing heavy was running in background while testing either. I don't play heavy games or stuff but I at least want my daily use experience to be smooth, what's the point if I can't even scroll Instagram without facing lags?
Here are the screenshots of the scores from Geek Bench and AnTuTu.
I'm extremely dissatisfied with this, should I get a replacement? I'm not really sure if the issue is with my device's hardware or it's MIUI's fault. If it's the latter then I'm ready to flash a custom rom to my phone if it will fix the issue. What could be the problem? Any help is appreciated.

Ya the LTE speeds are somewhat slower on this phone. At my home, on my Pixel 4a I get 20-40 Mbps with Airtel 4G, but on Redmi note 11 I get around 15-30 Mbps. It never cross 30 and reach 40 like pixel 4a.
I have the 6GB/64GB variant.
Also slower WIFI speeds. I have a BSNL Fiber wifi at home. Its just 2.4 Ghz but my pixel 4a reach speed upto 90-100 Mbps, whereas Note 11 never cross 50 Mbps. I know Note 11 will give faster speeds with 5Ghz wifi, but sill if pixel can reach 100mbps with 2.5ghz wifi then Note 11 should have been able to reach those speeds too.
Anyways, 50Mbps wifi and 30Mbps LTE speed is enough for me. So no complaints. LTE speed increases to 50-60mbps when I am in good network coverge area.
it fixed itself or the update i did manually helped (V13.0.7.0.RGKEUXM) but the score now is this:

Can you make a couple of phone calls and try out the same benchmark? I am sure you should see decreased performance.
Check this for what's going on in detail.
