Tom and his disciples are bastards

[Luke727]

Tomshardware is OBVIOUSLY being paid under the table by certain companies to write good reviews of their products. Example: boards with nVidia's nForce chipset.

Here, the reviewer says "In this test, both boards based on the nForce chipset come out on top." Yet in the graph of the test results, three other boards scored THE EXACT SAME SCORE.

On the same page, "Again, both nForce boards have pummeled their KT266A challengers." Yet in the graph five other boards scored the exact same score as one nForce board, with the other nForce board only .26 frames/second faster. Perhaps someone should consult a dictionary.

Here, in the second graph, the nForce boards are truely pummeled (although only by 6 fps), yet the reviewer says NOTHING of it.

In all the other tests, the other boards beat the nForce boards, but not my that much.

At least they didn't give the crown to an nForce board.

nVidia must not be paying them enough.

But you all already knew that Tom and his associates can be bought.

Anyway, the reviewer mentions the test was done in Germany, so maybe the reviewers spoke German and some words were translated a bit inaccurately. Anyway, Tom and his disciples are still bastards.

Good day.

If you want to talk about being biased, though, there's always slashdot

 

Tell us something new

 

[BigSmooth]

You're preaching to the choir if you are complaining about Tom's reviews here at AnandTech.

Geez Luke727, what Tom and his Disciples think really doesn't matter much to me. I've been blessed with the ability to make up my own mind so what Tom and his minions think really doesn't matter and surely doesn't make them "Bastards" in my eyes. On the other hand you sound like you are some kind of Fanboy who measures his worth by his System Specs just like a Male Porno star measures his worth by the size of his penis.

Tom's Hardware - Biased?!

[sarcasm]

Frankly, I'm shocked -

Shocked and appalled . . . ! :Q

[/sarcasm]

I haven't been to T/H since Herr Doktor and Harvey squared off for their Flame War years ago.
Now there's some ancient AnandTech History . . . !

BTW -

Hey Red Dawn - Long time, no type! Nice to see you around!

Oh, take that....

Say what you will about Tom, but at least he's published an article (or 4) in the past week and a half.

Apparently, it's siesta time for the AT writing staff.

Quality before quantity.

 

[GTaudiophile]

And Tom isn't a college student! Finals are b!tch, and since I want Anand to stay in school and get a degree, I have no problem with him taking time out to do what he's at college to do.

 

[lawaris]

who isn't biased in today's world ???

 

[spanky]

i thought tom was on vacation? i haven't seen an article by him in a while. he's not a bastard. i've learned a lot from tom's articles, just as i have from anand's. chill out man.

I think both sites have their good points. Why is it always "black" and "white" to some people? A is good so B must be sh!te! Take what knowledge you want from BOTH sites dude...

It's not like you are going to need all that performance to surf AT are you?

 

[MisterNi]

I like the testing methodology of the Tom's Hardware folks, but I wish Tom would leave out his colorful euphemisms and preaching in his reviews and save it for the editorials.

 

[damocles]

Tom isn't being paid under the table, although everyone seems to think that he is being paid by a different company (AMD, Intel, Nvidia, ATi).
English isn't his first language. Most of the people on GH tend to ignore what he is saying and just look at the graphs

 

[BatmanNate]

Here, here.

I read both Tom's Hardware and Anandtech, they both rule. Luke727, to point at two statements about two graphs and say Tom's site is biased is just stupid. Read the conclusion and it is even said that nForce is no match for the KT266A. Here.

Tom's hardware gives a good review, and is not really biased. The reviews generally consist of graphs and a conclusion. There can't be bias in a graph, and the conclusion bears the title "conclusion" make things a little easier for people like you to understand.

i wonder if i'm the only one who thought this thread was about tom leykis...

[toant103]

judge for yourself

 

[S0me1X]

Graphs are good Pictures are good Words bad

 

[ElFenix]

yeah, bastards!


lets see... last time i was there... they had wacky heatsinks!
the flowery looking ones without fans attached
those are weird.

oh, and the 727, i won't fly it. i think delta still does. so no delta for me.

Sharky Extreme anyone ?
