Nope not hard to understand at all. On the other hand, its just as likely that the performance isn't what they expected and are now turning the screws to see if they can muster up some performance gains, now that compiler tricks and benchmarketing are being scrutinized by the FTC, and about every other watchdog on the face of the planet. . Welcome to the world of competition intel! I know its been a couple decades for ya lol
