Where are the rest of the i875 reviews?

[Klax]

Yes the Opteron coverage is moderately interesting. However, it was stated that several i875 boards were in house and being tested along with the two that were reviewed. In fact, some of the benchmarks for several of those boards are included in the Asus and Gigabyte reviews. I was also somewhat surprised that several less known websites actually had i875 reviews before Anandtech. Did the weather clear up in Raleigh to the point where you boys are busy running the streets instead? When I was there for a couple weeks a few weeks ago, it was cold, wet, and miserable.

I too am in need of more reviews of I875 boards. How about the DFI Lanparty pro875. I would also like to see More memory used in the benchies. At least a gig of DDR3200 or 3500. I'm not flaming Anand and his crew, I have looked to this website for a long time for unbiased testing of computer components and they tell it like it is!:sun:

They are coming.

We don't all live in Raleigh, and we all have our own lives too, not just AnandTech.

How about fixing the ones that are up before putting up new ones? And the point isn't they aren't here, the point is that they were said to be done and ready to go. Obviously that wasn't true. So don't say something is coming when it you have no idea whether it is or it isn't. Simple.

I don't think you are being very fair, there. You have NO idea of the work we do for each and every article. As for fixing them, that's up to the individual writer.

Personally, I write a lot less front page articles, I mainly write the FAQs, and I fix them wherever possible. However, with other things in the pipeline, they may not be able to fix something right away.

You have no idea what I know. I am telling you they are coming.

Evan is a busy person (we all are), and there may be something delaying him from putting it up.

No flaming was intended with my original post. Just a gentle prod to let you guys (and perhaps gals) know that a lot of us are scouring the sites to find anything on what will become our next project. Anandtech is well respected. If I didn't have a full time job that pays quite well, I'd offer my services. As it is, my time is limited and I have to rely on you folks to do the footwork.

I realize that by now Anandtech is popular enough that being totally accurate really isn't important anymore(the Tom's Hardware effect), but I guess I just expected more than a "who cares" attitude when errors are pointed out-which is what myself and others have gotten.

I wasn't referring to you, just in general. What's wrong with simply saying "when it's done"?

Hmmmm....

By the time we get all the reviews, the 875 chipset will be obsolete. Anandtech once took a backseat to no one on the timeliness of their reviews. Now it seems to have gone the way of Sharkey Extreme. I suppose any revenues from ads aren't enough to fuel the interest of the testers.

I'd rather wait for a quality review with a lot of time put into it than a rushed out one. I to am waiting, but also understand that these things take time.

 

[Kartajan]

are we starting to get a little carried away here?

TECH ENTHUSIAST
I'll ask for the forth time. You ordered ?

REVIEWER
You want answers?

TECH ENTHUSIAST
I think I'm entitled to them.

REVIEWER
You want answers?!

TECH ENTHUSIAST
I want the truth.

REVIEWER
You can't handle the truth!

And nobody moves.

REVIEWER
(continuing)
Son, we live in a world that has chipsets. And those chipsets have
to be reviewed by men with hardware. Who's gonna do it? You?
You, tech enthusiast? I have a greater responsibility than
you can possibly fathom. You weep for Canterwood and you
curse the manufacturers. You have that luxury. You have the
luxury of not knowing what I know: That the delay in posting,
while tragic, probably saved you money. And my existence, while
grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves your money.
(beat)
You don't want the truth. Because deep down, in places you
don't talk about at parties, you want that solid review. You
need that solid review.
(boasting)
We use words like clockspeed, MHz, stability...we use these words
as the backbone to a life spent defending something. You
use 'em as a punchline.
(beat)
I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself
to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very
evaluation I provide, then questions the manner in which I
provide it. I'd prefer you just said thank you and went on
your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a motherboard and
submit a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you
think you're entitled to.

Smile- Springdale officailly comes out soon...

 

[acemcmac]

w00t to that. I'm thankful that we get decent reviews at all. I mean, without the hard work and dedication of these authors, I'd have nothing to do between girlfriends! :beer:

LMAO @ Kartajan!

I nearly fell out of my chair!
