80 compute units gets people going that are not technical. They'll just exclaim "80 compute units!? I am totally buying this".

Also see MHz and Megapixel race. Ever wondered why Ryzen CPU boxes are fancy? Same concept. As far as people are gullible, marketing will continue to serve them. Let's educate the people from recognizing marketing non-sense. Only then things can improve. Barking at "worthless marketing" people is naive - they're doing exactly what the numbers are indicating. If they don't, product won't sell as much. They're literally doing their job. Blame the people but we don't like to confront that.
