It would be way way better if they were benchmaxxing this. The pelican in the image (both images) has arms. Pelicans don't have arms, and a pelican riding a bike would use it's wings.

Having briefly worked in the 3D Graphics industry, I don't even remotely trust benchmarks anymore. The minute someone's benchmark performance becomes a part of the public's purchasing decision, companies will pull out every trick in the book--clean or dirty--to benchmaxx their product. Sometimes at the expense of actual real-world performance.

Pelicans don’t ride bikes. You can’t have scruples about whether or not the image of a pelican riding a bike has arms.

  • Wouldn’t any decent bike-riding pelican have a bike tailored to pelicans and their wings?

    • Sure, that’s one solution. You could also Isle of Dr Moreau your way to a pelican that can use a regular bike. The sky is the limit when you have no scruples.
