Im not even sure if Tom still operates this website, but if so, I have a question, if not for you then for your THG staff. After reading Omid Rahmat's recent article http://www20.tomshardware.com/column/20040218/index.html about Intel's x86-64 xeons...Id like to ask, exactly how much is Intel paying THG? That was the most biased piece of crap Ive ever read....
"There is nothing finer than raising the hackles of delusional AMD lovers. However, today I do so with a heavy heart. This is no time to take aim at the pompous, self-righteous head-in-the-sand-ostriches of the alternative chip lifestyle. One must embrace them, hug them and wipe away their tears.
They are the freaks of low-cost computing, the poor, downtrodden users of products that never seem to be able to match PR numbers to actual performance, now almost beaten into marginality for all time."
I happen to work for an unnamed online hardware review site, and generally find it in my best interest to not poke and prod, deliberately, at Intel or AMD. Not saying you dont have a right to your opinion, by all means, fanboy all you like. I just find it a very poor example of journalism, if I can even call it that to make unbased, fanboy articles meant to provoke AMD fans abroad...wouldnt be as bad if it werent for the fact that THG is widely viewed in the more 1337 hardware society as the most Intel-biased, soldout, waste of 01011101 on magnetic platters being hosted on the WWW. So please Omid, embrace me, hug me, and wipe away my tears of disgust at your poor waste of webspace. I hope your paycheck from the THG/Intel Corp. wipes away YOUR tears, sellout.
