Do you load webpages in endless loops with your device or do software video encoding? Peak CPU performance is important because CPU workloads are transactional and bursty. I mean I'm not even going into this argument as I specifically changed the way the GPU performance is represented precisely because of these concerns. You're utterly overreacting here and using strawman arguments.
I would love nothing more if you benchmarked use cases that typical cell phone (Galaxy S9) users would encounter. I agree software video encoding is not a typical use case , but I do browse web pages, play games, and use apps in sessions longer than 15 seconds! Can you tell me how various android phones compare in situations that involve *real applications*? All I could find in your article are a bunch of SPEC, PCMark, and micro-javascript benchmarks.
The rest of the review has the 9810 with the lowest bars all over the place. You're telling me because I dared to test SPEC at peak that this invalidates the whole rest of the article. Again there's reasonable arguments and there's unreasonable ones.
You dedicated a whole page on benchmarks that are completely useless to me as a potential S9 end user. A whole page!!! What does SPEC tell me about how my phone will preform in my day-to-day activities?
And why the hell shouldn't we? Getting both the peak and sustained numbers tells us more about the GPU and the way it's run.
Because we don't live in a fantasy world. Call me crazy but I just want to know how a GPU will preform when I play X, Y, and Z games in a normal situation (i.e. sans dry ice).
