Use of bulk capitals does not denote "venom". It denotes shouting. One can be (superficially) exquisitely conformant to the letter of customary etiquette (all spelling/punctuation/grammar immaculate, no gratuitous capitalization, no profanity) and still be figuratively "venomous" in one's speech. It's something of an art form among some people. That said, "'work fine' for what ? Phoronix test suite ? Those use 2000-era 3D engines." is indeed not "venom".

It's not just that question specifically, but the nearly frothing railing against AMD leading up to it combined with the presumption that I used a benchmark suite (and an old one at that) to denote "works fine" in response to someone who was clearly more demanding.
I'm regularly on the receiving end of like-structured conversations in a vocal context. "Venomous sarcasm" and presupposition of incompetence/bad faith would be precisely how one would describe it.
