Misleading graphs Memes

Ah, the classic GPU model number trap. When your "upgrade" from a GTX 1080 Ti to an RTX 5060 gives you a 5× performance boost... or does it? Someone clearly forgot that Nvidia's marketing department is playing 4D chess with these model numbers. The 1080 in the chart is just the model number, not the performance score, while 5060 is the actual benchmark. It's like comparing apples to... well, model numbers of apples. This is why senior devs trust benchmarks, not fancy digits in product names.

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!
