False Benchmarks: Do not believe in everything you read

Those who are passionate about technology as I often enjoy reading news not only belong to their passion sphere, for example in my case I do not just read news about Xiaomi but also all that surrounds the smartphone landscape and technology in general.

But as a good lover of the Xiaomi brand, I can not feel excited when a new device from the Chinese company speaks and just in the last few hours news about a new Xiaomi device named RIVA it seems to have been around the world with so much of benchmark results and appearance in the official database of GeekBench.

We at XiaomiToday.it personally did not give the news finding no foundation and no response from any source more or less reliable as Weibo might be. I then decided to deepen what emerged about the new Xiaomi RIVA model before the traces disappeared as happened long ago for other hypothetical models that would be presented exclusively on various national and international blogs.

I did not confirm or deny official about Xiaomi RIVA but what I discovered is that it is very easy to create a fake news and even a new smartphone model so that the views on your site grow.

I am quite joking to you that the Xiaomi company has decided to reward my work by creating a special template by the XT code name in honor of XiaomiToday with a lot of GeekBench results appearing in the official database you find by clicking on this link.

Seriously, unfortunately it is very easy to create fake news with related tests as benchmark results but sometimes they lie. I will not show you the complete procedure of creating fake news and fake smartphone templates to give in to benchmark programs, like the acclaimed GeekBench, instead I'll just tell you that just modify a system file that encapsulates all the specifications of our device to change the name of the model, brand, and even slightly lower the hardware parameters.

That's what I created my fake benchmark test that is now searchable in the GeekBench database. I would like to point out that with this my article reflection you are in no way losing anyone but simply invite you to Do not believe in everything that is being published from various or less acclaimed and accredited blogs.

Ah, if these days you read the headline news that hints the exclusivity for a new Xiaomi device from the XT code name, well know it's a fake one. I invite you to express your opinions and thoughts or maybe bring back some of your personal experience where you have experienced a fake news in the comments box below.

A greeting from your Emanuele.

Nerd, Geek, Netizen, terms that do not belong to me. Simply myself, technology lover and provocative as Xiaomi does with his products. High quality at fair prices, a real provocation for the other most famous brands.
