AMD is getting ready for the winter, in this article we look at what AMD labeled the Radeon Crimson ReLive Edition. This is the new 16.12 driver which has had some TLC from AMD. The release is not offering overall performance for games, but AMD has been working on new features. Time for a quick article, to cover all topics.

So those graphs are fine to you. It's perfectly normal to see a >100% improvement at fist glance, then to read and realize that it's not true. Isn't that right?
You know, mentalities like yours make me understand why companies keep doing stuff like this - no offense.
Companies have always been shamed for presenting inaccurate graphs just to catch the eye, cheap marketing tricks fool more people than you think.
I am no fan of misleading graphs either and have seen some Really misleading ones in the past for PC hardware !
First thing I read was the title of the slide, followed by the %'s.
Absolutely clear and to the point.
When taught mathematics at school / college they teach you to show a "zoomed in" portion at the top of the bar graph when representing Small changes to make it clearer in the display of those changes in respect of the overall figure's baseline.
Without doing this there would be little point using a graph as the changes are so small.

I would hope not. Because it's got nothing to do with mathematics.
Maybe in a community college PowerPoint class

Talk about being difficult lol -_-"
I would think they teach most kids how to represent numbers in graph form during mathematics classes, there was no such thing as PowerPoint when I was at school anyways...

During World War II the US fought on more than one front. Business is no different. Just depends on the resources available.
Concerning the graph:
The reference points were all there. The scale used after the 100% mark was just different. The 4% bar is half the height of the 8% bar and the 6% bar sits in the middle between the 4% and 8% bars. The application of the exaggerated scale was consistent in its application across the whole slide. It's not like they utilized a unique set of scales for each point on the horizontal axis. What's not understood?
...The way I see it, you will never win the war when you're fighting on two fronts simultaneously against two enemies.

It's nice to see AMD beat Intel finally but I need to see them beat Intel in game perf then we are talking, stuff like handbrake and blender that's multithreaded is going to be faster the more cores you throw at it but we're not at that point with games yet although it is getting better,
