Comment The Point of a Benchmark (Score 1) 234
I always thought the point of a benchmark is to show what a device is capable.
So if the "phone does indeed let its GPU run at a higher frequency when particular benchmark software is running",
Its just showing what its capable of.
Though I would definitely want to run benchmarks the whole day and see what happens.
Submission + - Obama Praises Amazon at One of Its Controversial Warehouses
theodp writes: In his first term, President Obama was a big booster of indie bookstores.

'Amazon is a great example of what’s possible,' said Obama, who also toured the 'amazing facility' where workers can make $10.50-$11.50 an hour as an employee of Integrity Staffing Group, 'may also be eligible for medical and dental benefits', and 'must be able to stand/walk for up to 10-12 hours' in temperatures that 'will occasionally exceed 90 degrees.' So, are '21st century migrant workers' the new middle class?
