System Infographics
The first part of this project has some important context about how this study was conducted.
As a bonus today I have system infographics summarizing some of the information I’ve gone over so far. It’s nice to directly compare systems on a variety of statistics.
There is some important information about how these numbers were obtained in the other parts of this project, please see Part 1 if you haven’t already.
