I've always found the coverage on this site to be valuable, regardless of when its posted. If Intel were to cut Anandtech off, I'd still wait for their reviews. Their focus on "useless scientific" benchmarks is useful to me because those are use-cases I care about. Heck, honestly, I would boycott them. Would do the same for AMD.
Just starting? They are so far off some ridiculous parallel dimension that even a perfect parody account couldn't beat them.user benchmark been on the IDF parole for quite some time. This is starting to get pretty pathetic.
Techreport! I'm still fuming in rage that they changed to that imbecile mobile layout and removed the excellent search features for their database. They promised that it would improved with time but nothing happened since!This site is great and has been so for 20+ years. And only one of the few left from the Old guard. Hardocp, Techreport done Anandtech still kicking.
The backporting of this processor design to 14nm appears to be a failure - the load power usage is just too high IMO.
Is there anyone here that feels differently or won't be reading additional reviews?
Would Francois approve?
"Somebody" at Intel isn't all that upset with Anandtech after all, they still value some the content recently published here:

Realistically, this is going to change almost nothing. Everybody is still waiting for the 30th to see how things shake out. I think it's funny the criticisms this site gets, biased against AMD, biased against Intel, too slow on reviews, (now) too fast on reviews.

The point of the NDA is if you're giving out hardware, people are going to rush to be first, either in physically receiving the product or finishing the written review. Having an NDA lets you ship out a ton of CPUs without that problem, because everybody has to wait (so might as well do a good job). The point of the NDA (this late in the game) is to prevent half-baked reviews. Which, before now, is all we've been getting because Rocket Lake CPUs are out in the wild already. This is the first decent look at RL.
Not really. For the actual launch review, Anandtech will probably only release theirs 3-6 months later. Look at the Nvidia 3000 series launch, sill no reviews from Anandtech..
I thought that was clear by now: they moved up the launch date, but shipped the product according to the previous plan.None of you guys are asking the real question: Why are retailers stuck holding stock of these chips for over a month? The NDA also should have ended sooner.
It's nothing new to see results diverge between different sites/channels, didn't this happened in the past with Anandtech?
But it's curious that his improved results are still behind Zen 3.
CapFrameX was drugged or boozed up when he imagined the 5.6Ghz Turbo clocks. Now it's too late to go back, sad story
