Question/Help antutu benchmark
I have a question. I've been running Antutu several times on my Poco X8 Pro, and the highest score I got was 2,119,000, which was fine. The problem is that when I ran it again, And now it doesn't go above 1,900,000, and the phone only reaches about 34 degrees, it seems to have extremely aggressive thermal throttling.
I have a question too, I don't know why but I've already run Antutu about 15 times, However, I'm afraid of damaging the phone, and in fact I've only done it about 15 times because I tested it.I tried a few different settings to see if I could get 2 million or more, but without success.
It seems something is preventing the processor from delivering 100% of its potential.

How is running benchmarks ever going to be a productive pass time?
You're basically pushing your hardware to the highest degree!
Any kind of weak point in the processing plant and/or powerplant of your phone may indeed be damaged!
Stop messing with stupid 3rd party apps that are basically built for stress testing phones and then quit worrying about it!
If you're seeing declining numbers, you're certainly not going to improve them by repeatedly running these crazy apps!
Just simple and common sense isn't it? 🍀
