What no headline ? oh it's Intel.

You put Intel name after the longest headline i have ever seen that no one will notice and also it is on the bottom of the news.
Who is sponsoring tomshardware? You should tell your readers if you are getting money from Intel/Amd/Nvidia.
Be fair... I am not saying don't reveal any problem but you make it very clear that this site or publishers getting money from some companies, you should say which.

Oh and Paul no follow up on this one? On Amd you follow very closely.

Intel's comments on the matter are on the page. in two different places. There are also links to their advisory and Intel's 31-page breakdown of the issue and how to fix it. And a link to the impacted processors. They have more material than a one-para statement, by far. AMD had zero information on its website until 24 hours after the paper posted, and didn't respond to further queries until another 24 hours after that (granted, it was a weekend)

Intel had an encyclopedia of data at the very time the vulnerability was announced, so I'm don't think it needs further follow up. In either case, their responses are already in the article several times.

The article is also pinned to the top 5 articles, so it appears in the main part of the page even though it has slipped down the queue in the news feed. As you can see, it is listed twice.

I have no idea which advertisers have contracts, we aren't involved in that. I do know that, contrary to popular belief, it is rare for Intel, AMD or Nvidia to advertise on any website.

I have 200 Intel vulnerabilities that are not patched on 2 of my pcs.
I am not too worried because I know how to avoid problems.
The Amd article was in the headline for a long period of time.
You raised many concerns about Amd and i doubt Intel will patch my cpu from 3 years ago on my notebook.
So yes... the corona virus mass panic on the Amd article was not necessary.
It is just how you treated both articles and the things you wrote.
It was so close when they both published so it was easy to compare and it is just feel a bit off.
When Amd said it was all good and there is nothing to worry about you did another follow up.

Like I said, most of Intel cpu are not patched and never will.

Edit:
I did not say advertise I asked if you or tomshardware are being sponsored by Nvidia/Intel/Amd.

No, to my knowledge we are not sponsored by Intel, AMD or Nvidia.

Yes, we have covered Intel vulnerabilities ad nauseum, to the point that it is like elevator music. I know that some don't bother to read all of these articles, so here is a summation of Intel vs. AMD security:

https://www.tomshardware.com/features/intel-amd-most-secure-processors

Read the conclusion, and look at the table at the end. If one actually takes the time to read the content that we produce, it's silly to claim that we are downplaying Intel's vulnerabilities. The reality is quite the opposite.

In regards to the AMD situation, AMD says its chips are safe from the vulnerabilities, the researchers claim they are not. Intel acknowledges the issues, so there isn't really much more to say than cover the issue and send readers to the resources provided by both Intel and the researchers.

I remember this article.... I follow only this news site because i used to it and some youtubers for reviews.
This is the only site I get my news from.
I remember your vcore, "Intel claims", about Amd. This article looks really bad.
The athlon 200ge i was a bit suprised. The youtubers with his claims on Amd boost and many other on Amd boost.
I have other articles that looks a bit weird but you did not write them so i am not going to mention them.
All I am saying that there is a feeling this site favours Nvidia and Intel.

Not that it is important but i recently helped my cousin to choose a gpu and I recommended to him Nvidia gtx 1660ti because of Amd drivers issues. I am not a fanboy of any company.
I will choose what is best within my budget.

@PaulAlcorn we're not talking about Intel/Nvidia or AMD literally advertising on the tomshardware website - instead, we're talking about that white elephant increasingly present in large social media gatherings - anti competitive tactics. Guess who has publicly stated last year that they have set aside $3 billion strictly for use in anti competitive practices? - Intel, as anyone following tech will instantly know (e.g. your readership). We all know that it is virtually without doubt that Intel has a very significant presence in large forums with paid shills and competition disruptors. When I see some of the tactics used I try to try to highlight this - just as I did very recently here - very large font sizes used permanently by someone very clearly attacking AMD with every post (in current light you shouldn't allow this for obvious reasons of implication, plus, it's anti-social). Now, are we to be so naive that Nvidia isn't doing the same? - shouldn't we be at least 'vigilant'? Don't worry though, we'll be on the look out for AMD if they try the same!! - since...
Ultimately, it all boils down to this - is competition beneficial for the consumer? does it keep prices kept in check? does it stimulate real innovation accelerated?

I could really use some cheese to go with this near incessant win(e)ing.
