They were confusing charts, not what you are used to seeing. The charts were normalized to the Intel chip; thus a positive bar for an AMD chip in that graph means relative improvement to the Intel chip, and a negative bar relative loss to the Intel chip. Confusing, and of course the meanings reverse with "lower-is-better" graphs. The way I usually see to show normalized performance is normalizing to 100 rather than 0. An example, normalizing on the A10-6700: http://media.bestofmicro.com/M/1/387001/original/Average-perf.png http://media.bestofmicro.com/M/1/387001/original/Average-per...
