WTF are you on, crack? You don't remember how Intel mistreated THG concerning their exposer of the PIII 1.13 Coppermine flaw? Or Tom's attack on the i820 Rambus chipset? Or Tom's general attack on Rambus? Or Tom's attack on inside deals between Intel and Rambus before their joining? Or the fact that Tom himself testified against Rambus in the memory makers lawsuits? Or Tom's attacks on the Socket 423 platform, or the low IPC of the P4 Willy?
And now you think these guys work for Intel...let me ask you, can I have some of what you're smoking?
So many review sites give you EXACTLY what you want, slanting all their articles toward VIA chipsets (until recently), nVidia graphics cards, and AMD processors. Why? This is the stuff many "enthusiast" WANT to buy. If it has a problem or fails to outperform the competition, can they report that? NO. Because for them to report the truth makes YOU call them biased.
Remember the first heatsink video? The AMD burned up, and thousands of readers left Tom's because they didn't want to accept the truth. The idea behind that test was this: What happens when the custodian knocks over your PC on the floor and the heatsink comes off. Several other explainations were provided, such as the sink comming loose in shipping, etc. All focused towards reasons OEM's might not choose AMD. Tom's told you that they were hoping the heat protection would respond quickly enough to prevent catastrophy, but it didn't. They were as suprised as you maybe, but many readers still left.
Does this not speak of what kind of people are in the hardware "enthusiast" community? Many of you act more like rednecks than experts. You whine like a bunch of 8 year olds finding out PeeWee Herman was arrested for masturbating in public, whenever test results don't show you what you want to see. You sound like the people who still claim "OJ didn't do it". I'd be surprised you didn't hold nVidia responsible for killing 3DFX and boycott them, except that this was likely before your time.
Instead of trying to make THG into an AMDZone or Viahardware, why not direct your comments toward making the site more cutting edge, making the charts simpler and easier to read, making improvements in their comparisons? Why are you even here if all you can do is cry, instead of making constructive suggestions?
If you're among this group of quasi enthusiast who can't take a little criticism, please leave now, I'm tired of your arguments.
You want to hear a valid suggestion for improving THG? How about this: THG, Pleas quit promoting SFF cubes! Thank you!
