Isn't saying "1.5 times faster" misleading? From what I see it's gotten 33% times faster. Although, you might say that the previous version is 1.5 times slower

- thecopy 11y agoYup. Same category of a misnomer as for example "n-fold times faster", n > 1, where they mean "n times as fast". 2^n vs n, for example, a 4 fold increase in something is the same as 16 times increase of that something.
- J_Darnley 11y agoNo. The original wording is accurate. It can do 1.5 times as much work per unit time exactly correlating with real world speed. "33% times faster" doesn't make sense. You need to drop the "times" or use "0.33 times" for that to make sense.
