Dude, you're the one that said to take it with a grain of salt!
I'm not saying either one is better than another. I'm saying there are big problems with each. People lie on polls and companies shift data around. They are equally fallible.
One thing I know from experience, is that most warranty companies tell customers to send the product to the manufacturer first. This most happens when warranty costs start eating all the profit. They sell the warranty to provide ease and help, but when all is said and done, warranties are devised to make pure profit margin with no product. What kingofwales said could very well be true. At first ST was taking in the repairs, but then got in a crunch.
There ARE companies that use cold calling very effectively. I'm pretty sure gallup does. Anyways, like I said, neither is reliable information.
This graph, in fact, is meant to show how jaspers are better than previous chipsets. Knowing that, this graph can't in good measure, be used to show anything else. Especially when the chipset performance is shown on the graph as a projection.
EDIT: just noticed that the performance is actual, not a projection. That was meant to be another nail in the coffin and is not really necessary to my point.
