Graphs in this article are devoid of contextual information; and would recent reports regarding the failure rate of Intel chips (even 65W SKUs) affect your recommendation at all?

These charts are nice and contrasty, easy to read ;) Good article!

This is fake, per Alexander Yee on twitter. Real Ryzen 9000 would have AVX-VNNI and this doesn't.

Fair, how about blue and orange? Or Dark green and a light blue? Just some form of contrast is best. Hell, even white with a color border could work.

I'd say that when it comes to anti-trust law, things can get mighty important mighty quick when it involves a sector of the economy that could be defined nebulously as "really important". If the feds feel like the government is being screwed, they'll do a lot more than just fine. It would be...
