Version history:

  1.0.0 (2026-06-09): Initial publication with 6 charts: generational positioning,
    Time Spy stock-vs-OC, clock headroom, thermals/power, DLSS 4 MFG Cyberpunk,
    4K native gaming 8-game gauntlet.

  1.1.0 (2026-06-11): PR K expansion. Full 5-test synthetic ladder (Time Spy,
    Time Spy Extreme, Port Royal, Speed Way, Steel Nomad) x 3 tune tiers
    (Stock / Factory OC / Manual OC) = 15 new first-party data points. The 4K
    gaming chart re-shot with 5 titles plus 1% lows. DLSS 4 MFG ladder expanded
    to 4 modes (Native PT, DLSS-Q no FG, MFG 2x, MFG 4x) with PC Latency overlay
    (Reflex on). Power & Thermal converted to side-by-side comparison.

  1.2.0 (2026-06-11): PR N. Per-point sourcing re-cited — every value on the
    page is now correctly attributed as TechFuelHQ first-party measurement.
    Power & Thermal column relabeled to "Astral Stock vs Astral Manual OC"
    (both TechFuelHQ measured on the same rig). Manual OC offsets documented:
    +328 MHz core, +2996 MHz memory, +12% power target (GPU Tweak III User
    Mode 2). Dataset license changed from CC BY 4.0 to TechFuelHQ Proprietary
    — All Rights Reserved. "About this dataset" callout added to article.
