Examples

library(ggplot2)

# CPU base speed
ggplot(cpu, aes(x = company, y = base_clock)) +
  geom_boxplot() +
  labs(
    x = "Company",
    y = "Base Clock (GHz)",
    title = "CPU base speed"
  )

# Process node size vs. boost speed
ggplot(cpu, aes(x = process, y = boost_clock)) +
  geom_point() +
  labs(
    x = "Process node size (nm)",
    y = "Boost Clock (GHz)",
    title = "Process node size vs. boost speed"
  )
