In other words, there isnt a standardized benchmark suite that hardware manufacturers use to test their new products.
Some phone makers such as Samsung, OnePlus, and otherswent too farand were evencaught cheatingin somebenchmarks.
Lets take AMD and Intel CPUs as an example.
Lucas Gouveia / How-To Geek
The 5800X3D is shown above this paragraph, with the 7600X performance slides shown below.
Next, weve got two Intel CPUs, the Core i9-14900K and the Core i9-14900KS.
The release date gap between the two CPUs was about five months.
AMD
This time, the two products only share one game,Starfield.
This is why you shouldnt read or watch just one source of reviews.
This resulted in seriously overblown performance numbers of RTX 4000 GPUs compared to the real-world results.
AMD
This is a perfect example of a manufacturer unfairly handicapping its older products.
Unless were talking about OLED monitors, no monitor can achieve an average response time of 1ms.
Lets take the RT-AX88U Pro, one of thebest Wi-Fi routerson the market, as an example.
Intel
Dont get me wrong; this is an impressive result, but it is far from ASUSs claims.
The only two requirements were a max brightness of 400 nits and the ability to accept HDR10 signals.
This led to a flood of HDR 400 PC monitors with a subpar HDR experience.
Intel
Then weve got the mess that isHDMI 2.1.
NVIDIA
