g-d those are some deceptive graphs! Take a look at the slide titled "Pushing the performance envelope". A 16% improvement (LMBench memcpy) is displayed so that it looks like a 164% improvement (size of bar increased from 50px to 132px)!

Yeah, I noticed that immediately. It's kinda sad, too, given how the numbers are actually pretty good to begin with.

Why was the marketing department so ashamed about double digit percentage improvements in decent benchmarks? Do they think their customers are too stupid to appreciate that? Too stupid to notice the charts?

Might have to do with the pressure they're feeling from the unavoidable: RISC-V replacing ARM.

This is an obvious troll, but I'd like to point out that if risc-v where to become big, ARM could probably come up with one of the best implementations.
