How is it not a problem? They are gaming the system. Basically they are deliberately fooling certain benchmark apps to believe they can achieve a certain performance, when in fact no regular app can get that performance.
Or to put it another way. A Samsung S4 says it can achieve 60 FPS on a graphics-intensive benchmark. A Nexus 4 says it can achieve 50 FPS on the same benchmark. Samsung says, "the S4 has the best performance of any Android phone, buy us!". And a certain segment of the population does. Only...the S4 would actually score the same, or maybe lower, as the Nexus 4 without cheating. You don't see a problem with that? How about if this was a gaming PC?
I could personally care less, since I don't buy based on benchmarks, and even if I did, the iPhone 5S (and even the year old iPhone 5) crushes the latest Android smartphones even with their faked scores...
It's just another example to me what a sad, unscrupulous excuse for a company Samsung is (and apparently other Asian companies too). This is on top of paying people to go online and praise their products and trash others, not to mention the whole copying thing.
