In my lunchtime reading of the Sydney Morning Herald I saw an article
about a new video memory chip from Samsung.
In part, the article said:
> The new high-speed graphics solution runs at up to
> 8.0 GigaBytes per second (Gbps), which is 70 per cent
> faster than current conventional 1.2 Gbps devices.
I'm confused.
My arithmetic is obviously wrong, because I believed that
1.2 + (70% of 1.2) = about 2.04, not 8.0.
Will someone please explain what "70 per cent faster" means?
Perhaps the idiot who wrote this rubbish meant "7 times as fast".
The article can be found at this horribly long URL:
