I'm a big of AnandTech, Toms Hardware and also ExtremeTech. AnandTech is the best because it has the best forums. As you can tell I'm a noob to this website.

welcome 🙂
 
well, hopefully this will bring up Tomshardware a notch or two. Back in the day it was a good site, but now its just poorly translated drivell, and I never read it anymore ....
 
I agree that tom's hardware has been useful to a noob like me because they have so many comparisons between mulitple components like the large video card and motherboard round ups they have done. I hope they still do the same sort of stuff.

I don't like toms much. They layout is old, the forums suck, and his reviews are well... different. The worst part about toms is no printable page. Big fan of printing these things and hanging out on the couch digesting it. Franky I only go there as a last resort or if someone links it so I don't know where he gets this kind of capitalization.

The best review site is here, HardOCP, Hexus, aceshardware, X-bit labs, and Firing squad in no particlar order.
 
The CPU/GPU comparison charts are the best things THG had ever done. No need to search every review sites just to compare performance between A and B.
 
THG has its good points...That review of with 65 CPU's was good.

It also has some very informative tables like this table

Its from this page at THG....

It tells us that.....
In the year 2003. Intel CPU clock speeds only advanced 4.5 %
In year 2002, it was 53%
In year 2001 it was 33%
IN THE PAST 18 MONTHS IT was only 11% !!!..

No wonder why games are all CPU limited these days ..!!!!!

The latest pentium 4 has 125 million transistors, the Athlon 64 has 105,
4 years ago, the PIII had 29 million.....Looks like moore's law is still holding true.....
but it also like we are really starting to see the limits of superscalar CPU architecture.
 
Just watch, whoever bought it will just use the popular name to turn it into the next Rocketsearch.
 
I know Tom's is a sellout (was always able to see through the BS articles) but I didn't think they would actually sell the whole site.

ROFL

First link is dead...some good points. Toms does take it to the companies a bit more than other reviewers. But he can afford too.
