  1. Business Opportunity in Ruvol

    I have invented a Board Game [still unpublished and not yet out in the market] that I believe is guaranteed to be as challenging and exciting as CHESS. I called it “RUVOL.”

    It is my hope that one day Ruvol may surpass chess as the “Number One Board Game in the World.”

    The weakness of chess is it always starts in fixed positions that the opening moves become “memorizable.” In fact, not a few have so mastered the moves that they can play against their opponents “blindfolded.” It is for this very reason that the great Bobby Fischer introduced his so-called “Fischer Random Chess,” where the starting position of the pieces is “randomized” to make the memorization of openings impracticable. Fortunately, it is also for this reason that I invented Ruvol where “every game” has been calculated to be a challenging one to play.

    HOW IS RUVOL PLAYED and HOW YOU CAN MONETIZE IT?

    I detailed everything in my YouTube video. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcqth0m3-R0

    BIG MONEY POTENTIAL IN RUVOL!

    It is worthwhile to note that the people who play chess will be the same people who will play Ruvol. In my Google search, I learned there are around 800 million chess players in the world. Even just a small percentage of these 800 million is good enough to earn big money from Ruvol either as an ONLINE GAME BUSINESS or as a PHYSICAL PRODUCT DISTRIBUTOR.

    Thanks and God bless!

  2. @5:32 It is cheating because the test is standardized and the smartphone company manipulated the behaviour of the kernel in a way that is untypical for the chipset under these circumstances. Moreover, the point of the test is comparability of certain smartphones with certain types of chipsets. If some SOCs run at maximum clockspeed on all cores and others don't, it defeats the purpose and deceives a potential buyer.

  3. I don't think its cheating. I think every phone should do benchmarks at max performance and day to day. It would give us a better idea of each phones limitations.

  4. I have never bought a phone off a benchmark score ever! There's so much more to it then scores! Real world use does not reflect bench mark scores in my observations

  5. If that is not cheating then VW was not cheating either. It is cheating if the phone reacts to the test and acts differently. The user does not get that performance in normal use.

  6. it is not cheating, the phone is reaching those results using its own capabilities. This kind of performance does get delivered with normal use, just not for extended periods. No one said these benchmark tests are intended to reflect a normal use; they are there to show the full capabilities of the phone

  7. People who know what benchmarks are, do not expext a device to run at leak speed continously.

    I think that is a bit of a exaggeration.

    Benchmarks are suppose to push hardware to its threshold, to give tpu an idea how powerful it can be. Now how powerful it will be.

    Benchmarks werent meant to show daily usage data.

    So its not cheating.

  8. 5:28 uh no dude. its like having a car with NOS even though its not allowed. it is CHEATING! If im testing something I want to know the max performance but not hidden performance.

  9. Gary your points are great, technical and specific. But to a non technical person your videos can get a little boring. But you're nice you're like that nice teacher who teaches chemistry. hate the subject, but then can't complain coz you look so nice

  10. Gary's phone looks kinda transparent at 1:58 because the greenscreen (it's probably a greenscreen) is making the phone reflect green light into the camera. Gary's joke was so wholesome it made me smile

  11. if all phones would be tested the same way it would be ok, but since all phones are different how can one compare?
    pushing the device to max potential performance (if only for a short time) is a good way as any, but then all phones must be done the same way to compare properly.
