Charlie Demerjian from Semi Accurate seems to be very accurate with his Nvidia and ATI news. My question is does he hate Nvidia personally? Not to make this thread sound offending, I'm trying to figure out that although he is criticizing Nvidia in his blogs, why does there seem to be an undermining figure of speech so much towards the greener end. Has he personally worked for green in the past and got burned?

I enjoy reading his articles though

To put it simply ,he is a Ati fanboy.

Anyone that says he's not is ...well ...a ATi fanboy also.

I think they stopped sending him cards and other info for reviewing, and so he's a bit bitter about that.

Then again they probably stopped sending him stuff because he was negative about it.

It is unclear who struck first, but we do know that it was us who scorched the sky.

I'd read his stuff, but the hate comes on SO STRONG. It's worse then Fuad when he talks about Apple.

NVidia tried some bully boy tactics on him after some less than stellar comments about some of their cards and Charlie fought back.
Hardly surprising.

Who cares? If he's accurate with his information, I'll keep reading the cliffs of his articles (probably won't be reading the entire article).

I think hes more anti-nvidia than ati fanboy. Slight difference. He doesnt cheerlead for ATI, but every nvidia article is dripping with scorn and attacks.

As he produces a fair amount of nVidia dirt, it is fair to say he may have some bias. However, he does put forth compelling arguments and scenarios and they should be taken for what they are and not discounted just because he is the source.

Seriously? A Charlie thread? This is just what he wants.

Dude is an idiot who nV wouldnt give a press pass because he wouldnt sign an NDA. At first it was just fun for him, but now he has made name for himself because ATi fanbois post his crap on forums.

Some good stories about upcoming products, some worthless articles as well. I'm glad his site exists, but you must take things written there with a grain of salt (as with any rumor site)

He's crazy, and he twists everything he writes about GPUs so that AMD comes out on top, but I'm pretty sure he does have some kind of inside source.

For me, Charlie is a fun novelty, and I often find his posts rather amusing. I don't care about his bias or "hate" simply because I'm an individual well capable of thinking and drawing conclusions so I treat his way of criticizing nVidia ("Dear Leader", "habitual values", etc.) as a flavor that makes reading quite fun sometimes, although it's not always appropriate and often exaggerated.

As for credibility, well, he's semi-accurate, and the site name fits. I take everything he writes with a grain of salt since he's been wrong quite a few times. However, his Fermi info, while exaggerated, proves that he IS indeed well informed and certainly has an inside source @ nV.

No question that I'm going to continue reading his "nonsesne" - it's often at least partially correct, and it's fun, too, even if his style is slowly getting old.

BTW, I'm not a red or green soldier in this "war". I always buy the card that at the moment seems to offer me the best mixture of performance and features. Despite all the criticism, also from Charlie, it happens to be the (in)famous GTX 480 now. If there are two comparable cards from ATi and nVidia in terms of performance, I'll probably choose the "green goblin", simply because I still believe there are fewer driver issues with GeForce cards, and I'm a bit reluctant to give up PhysX/CUDA. I couldn't care less about 3DVision and Eyefinity though.

He probably Googles his name every night, and will have to grab a dirty sock from under his desk once he sees this thread.
