Deja vu ????
Another ad disguised as an article?

No. If it was disguised as an ad it wouldn't have the price listed.I'm sick of outlets always covering products and they almost never say what the damn price is or what the price will be.. That's basically free advertising.And it's usually difficult even getting the dimensions of really any card last I checked and I nose around that stuff often.

It's simply good reporting.

That's a little harsh. And I am one to call out adverts disquised as articles (I just ripped WccfTech the other day to the tune of 26 upvotes over a 4060 advert-icle). This one isn't exactly an award winning masterpiece but it was informative. Covering Sparkle's absence from the market, the choice they made skipping AMD/Nvidia, we weren't subjected to marketing slides and the prices weren't listed in a positive nor negative or even flashy manner. We got just flat reporting. Now I would have preferred something more indepth assuming Tom's had access to more information but I think it safe to say they didn't or they would of posted it.

This can get annoying though that much I agree. Its one thing to post something with a serious update like the GPU hierarchy or something like that with every changing/updated content. But the recycled static article bit as of recently hasn't gone unnoticed by myself either. I'd prefer more fresh content, especially in pieces like this. Though I don't want to see Tom's decend into the rumor mill sites like WccfTech and some others.

All that said it's nice to see Sparkle return to GPUs. I hope they do well and Intel by extension as we need more competition for AMD/Nvidia in the GPU space... cough cough... $299 4060 128 bit 8GB vram trash... cough cough.

This is encouraging. I'm OK with $239 if it can drive a pair of 2k monitors at 60hz. I build for my office, so I am happy to have Intel as a choice to pressure NGreedia and AMD down. I'll get Intel for the next office build. Thanks!
