Might get it once it's feature in an Apple Laptop or Cell Phone.
Is cpu more important than gpu review at this point? I'd guess just by forum traffic and talk that gpu is the single most important hardware piece that people are interested in now.It's nothing short of complete failure that the one of only 2 exciting pieces of hardware, an arguably the more exciting of the two, is glossed over on a near permanent basis on Anandtech now. Case reviews? PSU reviews? Keyboard reviews? BFD. Everytime now GPU's come out, they're game changing hardware from either a performance, price, or feature perspective. It's arguably the most important component that goes into a gaming PC.
And this site's coverage has gone from late to completely absent. It's a shame, it's inexcusable, and it's also sad to see priorities so out of whack. I get that mobile phones may rule viewer traffic now, but not one of the editors can look anyone in the face and say that keyboards, PSUs, cases, or any other component (sans CPUs) draw the same kind of traffic that video card reviews get.
Oh I totally think GPU's are more exciting and interesting than CPU's are nowadays, but I was just prefacing what I was saying... you know.... just in case.Is cpu more important than gpu review at this point?

I agree with everything else. This has been truly disappointing since anandtech had the best articles to actually read. You can get benches from a wide variety of sources. You can't get the architecture analysis anandtech has everywhere
I'm only able to find a preview on anandtech, am I missing something?
The card was released in June, many months ago, so I'd have expected a full review as we had for the Pascal cards.
So where exactly would you go?
Start a GoFundMe to hire Anand back from Apple.
They are the ones to blame.
Yeah, the downturn in quantity of content does seem to have coincided with Anand leaving
I am not normally a conspiracy nut, but this seemed like a way for Apple to shut Anand up.
I mean, only Anand discovered that the iPhone 5S, 6 and 6 Plus had less effective RAM than the iPhone 5.
Then Anand gets hired, we get to Chipgate with the iPhone 6s and Joshua Ho (who overall I like) completely gives Apple a pass when Anand wouldn't have. I had to read OTHER sites to learn that the Samsung chip was ALWAYS hotter, and therefore everyone who got an iPhone with one of those chips in it got screwed over in a small way.
And now we have the iPhone 7 with that way inferior Intel radio. You know Anand would have not been kind about that.
It is easier to buy out the enemy than always make your products awesome. Whatever they are paying Anand is a bargain for them just to shut him up.
I very much doubt this has anything to do with it. Not because Anandtech's reviews wouldn't have been more critical if Anand had still been on board, but rather because articles from a site like Anandtech probably has close to zero influence on the total sales of iPhones. Basically Anandtech is an enthusiast site, and the vast vast majority of Apple products are not bought by enthusiast.

It sounds nutty but sometimes we need excuses to rationalize away the pain.
