What's even more embarrassing is that that source is AMD itself? The GPU manufacturer wrote a blog post in an attempt to convince consumers to purchase their new RX 7900 XTX and XT cards by saying they are the most powerful Radeon lineup in years. They show multiple graphs touting performance, but the real corporate oopsie comes in the form of the last graph, which shows average FPS per dollar at 1080p. The $1,000 7900 XTX ends up having the worst value. Less than half of the clear winner, the 6400, and yet the post insists this year's AMD Radeon RX graphics family is looking like the best yet. It gets worse when you read the fine print and see that they tested the RX 6400 at a lower graphic preset than every other card, presumably to inflate the FPS value of the card. And I guess without realizing that would also make frames per dollar better? Maybe they thought they were measuring dollars per FPS, since that's what it says in the graph's title. Or maybe AMD watched the number 23 and it ruined numbers for them forever. And Jim Carrey. And Jim Carrey. I always hated numbers from birth.

At least we assume he tested it. Nothing is shown to the camera, but he said he tested it. So again, how can you argue? It's claimed that the OS shares no user data and does not feature any preloaded apps. And that last point is interesting, because the Competition Commission of India recently demanded that Google stop forcing phone manufacturers that license their GMS version of Android to preinstall Google apps like Chrome and YouTube. India being able to push back against Google is a big deal, since Android has a 97% market share in the South Asian country.
