Even worse than the last slide
In this slide, Intel even had the audacity to use big bold text that says "Continued Leadership vs. Latest Opteron." Yet, 21 of 32 results shown don't involve the latest Opteron or even a member of th the latest Opteron family. And again, just like with the last slide, the top right hand quadrant of data has "vs. Opt 2XXX" in the heading. But none of the chips listed below it were an Opteron 2XXX. Everyone of them had to be footnoted.
