Over? Nah...
I forgot where I read these words below (not exactly but almost...)
"...have better performences over previous generation"
I was just wondering if 'over' here is misused, and should be replaced by 'than'. Thank you.

Yes. In the little bit you gave it seems all right. Maybe it's not so good when you see the whole sentence. It's hard to know.
