Anandtech is shutting down

[trinibwoy]

Damned, I'm no longer into hardware or gaming, still every now and then I check the news and Anandtech was my go to website for news and analysis.

That site is a legacy part of the internet, when it was about sound discussion, knowledgeable people, respect and next to no marketing bullcrap.
I don't know them but I hope the team can rebound somehow, in that tik-tok era with people with a 30 seconds attention spams, it is going to be rough but they are quality people, top of the class.

It reminds me when hardware.fr closed, it felt like the end of an era, it was a shrinking, now… I instantly came to check if the forum here was still alive along with the techreport.

Anyway, I can't say I like the century, sure tech is great but everything sour, and along with that… aging lol…

With that say, long live to B3D, and remnant of I hope an undying era

Hardware.fr and techreport were fantastic sites in their prime. We’re well past the golden age of graphics hardware journalism.

I remember the FiringSquad and Xbitlabs as well, PClab too.

You probably made a good point but TBH I got bored of reading by this point and moved on.

Convert his post to TTS and play it while you watch this on loop.

This is just speculation obviously but it seems like a big catalyst issue was that they stopped doing GPUs from which they never recovered. From what I've heard the trigger point was possibly losing their GPU test equipment from California fires? ...

What equipment? I don't remember them ever going in depth regarding physical investigations.
