Higher Scores are better in all but SunSpider, Lower is better there

The HTC One M8 was pretty much the dominant force in our testing today, though the Samsung Galaxy S5 was certainly holding its own. The only one of the CPU benchmarks that the HTC One M8 wasn’t able to take the top spot in was Antutu, here the Samsung Galaxy S5 took a slight edge by 173 points, or ~.4%. Most of the differences between the HTC One M8 and the Samsung Galaxy S5 were small, but certainly consistent enough to call the HTC One M8 the top dog today!
