Evidently he is going to Apple, confirmed by a spokesperson supposedly. Also saw that Brian Klug got absorbed into the Apple maw as well, which would explain his sudden and complete disappearance.

Anand Lal Shimpi, the editor and publisher of the well-regarded AnandTech site, is going to work at Apple.
An Apple rep confirmed that the company was hiring Shimpi, but wouldnt provide any other details.
Last night, via a post on the site he founded in 1997, Shimpi said he was officially retiring from the tech publishing world, but didnt say what he was doing next. I wont stay idle forever. There are a bunch of challenges out there , he wrote.
Unlike many tech publications, AnandTech focused much of its energy on the guts of new devices, via reports on chips and other hardware components. In Shimpis words: AnandTech started as a site that primarily reviewed motherboards, then we added CPUs, video cards, cases, notebooks, Macs, smartphones, tablets and anything else that mattered.
Shimpis post also announced that AnandTech would continue publishing, and would be run by new editor in chief Ryan Smith.

Idk, sadly the coverage has been going downhill. Remember these? I do, these articles are the reason I stuck around:

The articles you got here used to be unlike any other site. Incredibly insightful, in-depth, and without bias. They were so good that I remember reading each of these, even from the 2 from 2006.
Shit was cash.
Unfortunately, I haven't seen one of these in a long time, and I doubt I'll be seeing any more in the future. RIP
Someone at work is the same way. He eventually just shaved his head.How did he get so bald at only 32?
As I said.
He's younger than I am! I wish I could have retired at his age.
Gonna miss his in depth reviews etc, the man has an unbiased style that has kept me coming back to the site. (Ironically I noticed in the Haswell-E thread that someone posted that Anand hadn;t been posting many articles recently. I think this explains it!)
Thanks for all your hard work and dedication, you WILL be missed.
He retired from Anandtech. I'm sure he's gonna go work on something else.

Like I stated earlier, geneticsHow the heck did he lose his hair at 32? I remembered a pic of him in 2012 or something when he still had a rug.
No matter where Anand goes, they will benefit from him greatly.With all of that Apple crap he was getting into it was only a matter of time before he fully quit.
Kinda makes sense... He's always had a soft spot for Apple products.
I still remember that "Who really needs user replaceable phone batteries?" post he made awhile back... That one left me wondering if he was selling out.
