What it means

A Windows 98-era SiSoft Sandra CPU benchmark window compares several old Pentium, Athlon, and Duron processors with a modern AMD Ryzen 5 3600. The absurdly high Ryzen score next to the ancient benchmark results is the joke, expressing how a modern CPU overwhelms software designed for much older hardware. It is used as a reaction to outdated benchmarks or exaggerated technology comparisons.
