Cherry-picking Memes

The eternal developer marketing battle in four panels! Left side: "OUR LATEST MODEL" shows a perfectly chiseled Chad CPU flexing its processing muscles. Right side: "OUR COMPETITORS' MODELS" depicts three pathetic alternatives—one literally on fire with smoke coming out, one crying while plugged in, and one having an existential crisis. Every benchmark presentation ever made by hardware companies in a nutshell. "Our processor? Absolute unit. Theirs? Literal garbage that might burn your house down." The selective benchmarking and cherry-picked performance metrics are basically a developer rite of passage at this point. Just don't read the fine print that says "tested under liquid nitrogen in a vacuum chamber on a Tuesday during a solar eclipse."
