Hardware reviews Memes

Ah, the classic tale of two graphs! The top one from "trusted tech reviewers" shows all CPUs performing nearly identically - because they've zoomed in so much on a tiny performance difference that everything looks the same. Meanwhile, the CPU makers' graph looks like CPU8 is performing interstellar travel while CPU1 is struggling to cross the street. Same data, wildly different impression. It's the graphical equivalent of saying "technically I didn't lie" while completely misleading everyone. Next time your manager asks why your code isn't 500% faster than last sprint, just adjust your y-axis accordingly!
