I would really LOVE to see more. Yes, can you believe it, more. More products in the benchmarks, more bechmarks, and more baselines and comparison formulas across the board.
I would love to see frames-per-dollar on my video cards using divisional AA & AF & other quality settings, more in depth product comparisons with baselines to which I can easily compare different benchmark lots, because I don't shop in restricted categories, and more! Not that any of this would be required for me to stick around, but I would be willing to pay $10-25/year for premium content that did a great deal more telling me about how far my dollar will go with items I can actually find at my favorite resellers. That's less than 1% of a frugal enthusiast's annual computer budget. And you can still throw in ads on my premium content because what I'm asking for would be an incredible cost to AnandTech. Make no mistake, such a venture would require not only a great deal of items purchased from retail sources to help reduce the likelihood of cherry picked items, but also multiple purchases of the same item to ensure even comparisons.
Such a venture could even get AnandTech to create new industry standard benchmarks. Could a profit be made, or would it be a massive money and manhour pit from which insufficient useful data could be dug?
