I'm reading below:
"Wow, I am genuinely amazed to see AMD being recommended at so many price points..."
"Well done, AMD!"

My interpretation is:
"Well done, AMD's advertising budget."

You don't think AMD has earned the praise its getting?

What advertising budget? AMD traditionally hasn't really had an advertising department. You fanboys kill me. If something is pro Intel, THG is an Intel shill, if it is pro AMD, THG is all the sudden an AMD shill. Give it a rest already.

Can someone please help me understand the current CPU testing methodology? It used to be they would pair the CPU with the best GPU to prevent GPU bottleneck. I'm reading the Ryzen 5 2400G review and they paired the CPUs with low-end GPUs. What am I missing?

The point of that article I believe was more of an emphasis on the IGP, rather than the CPU side.
