This is not the only wrong thing.

If we assume that the results are not a fake then it means that the correct
times that the speed up are based on are not in the article.

If you calculate speed up based on the time that are in the article you get
always
things like 2.00...
1.90... 1.80... or 1.70...
In most of the cases it is even 1.700... or 1.800...
