Samsung is embroiled in controversy over its game optimization service, which quietly limits the performance of about 10000 applications. The discovery led Geekbench to cancel all benchmark results for all recent flagship Galaxy smartphones, and Samsung promised to release an update with a feature switch. Over the years, Xiaomi has also used a variety of performance adjustments, and according to Geekbench, the company is now cutting costs for every application that Samsung does.

John Poole, founder of Primate Labs, the developer of Geekbench, reported on Sunday that Xiaomi is using the same performance adjustments for each application as Samsung's game optimization service. Poole uses custom-built Geekbench to test the optimization service on Xiaomi Mi 11, which replaces the usual application identifier with the identifier of Fortnite. The result is a 30% reduction in single-core performance and a 15% drop in multicore performance compared to normal Geekbench applications. In other words, Xiaomi's software either improves performance when Geekbench is detected, or deliberately slows down Fortnite (or both).

Android Police conducted its own tests on Xiaomi 12 Pro and Xiaomi 12X, and the results showed that the performance of Geekbench and Chrome disguised as Netflix was worse than that of Geekbench disguised as Genshin Impact. For example, Geekbench with the Chrome identifier got a single core score of 737 and a multi-core score of 3071, while Geekbench disguised as Genshin Impact got a single-core score of 1119 and a multi-core score of 3468.

It is not clear whether the current limit is based solely on the package name of a given application or game, or whether the phone will observe performance over time and try to adjust the current limit in other ways. Geekbench confirmed to Android Police that Xiaomi will be removed from its Android benchmark chart "later this week".
