(what are blueberry, ripley, jones and prometheus?)

Yes, the graphs are incomprehensible because those are not defined in the article. They turn out to be different physical machines with different architectures: https://doesjitgobrrr.com/about

So the biggest gains so far are on Windows 11 Pro of (x86_64) ~20%? Is that because Windows was bad as a baseline (promethius)? It doesn't seem like the x86_64/Linux has improved as dramatically ~5% (ripley). I'm just surprised OS has that much of an effect that can be attributed to JIT vs other OS issues.

		It's hard to say whether it's Windows related since the two x86_64 machines don't just run different OSes, they also have different processors, from different manufacturers. I don't know whether an AMD Ryzen 5 3600X versus Intel i5-8400 have dramatically different features, but unlike a generic static binary for x86_64, a JIT could in principle exploit features specific to a given manufacturer.

The immediate question has been answered, but what about the names? The latter three are obvious references to the Alien universe, but what relationship does blueberry have to them?

		I assume Blueberry is a nod to the machine being a Raspberry Pi.
