- Obviously, reading a bar chart isn't taught in school these days.
- The chart is captioned "Times greater than an A4000/040/25."
- Each bar has a number associated with it that is intended to show
- exactly what the captions says: "Times greater than an
- A4000/040/25." Therefore, each bar's value (length) which
- represents each processor type tested, indicates how many times
- faster that processor performed as compared to an "A4000/040/25."
