Anandtech shutting down 😢

[Jimmyjames]

Very sad news. As the title says, Anantech is shutting down. Unable to compete in a market where clickbait is king.

It's been a long time since I've perused there, still sad.

End of the road.

Their first review was of AMD K6; I was the unit lead on the integer execution module if I remember correctly. That was a very long time ago - amazing that they lasted this long.

Thank you for a link with context, all you see when someone shares from X is just this...

It will be nice when people stop using that lame platform.

I suppose the writing was on the wall when Ian left and gave the reason for leaving as the lack of money to hire anyone to replace Andrei putting too much load on Ian. Gavin was already working there and was now covering too many jobs. Just not enough money to do the job they wanted to. End of an era in tech journalism.

Looks like the internet has become a race to the bottom.

It has, but I feel this was inevitable since the day Anand departed in order to join Apple's silicon design team. It just took a while.

The people who kept AT running after he left should be praised for trying to maintain what he created, but they never fully replaced his combination of writing ability, technical analysis, and engineering background. (He didn't start out with much of the last part, because he was a teenager IIRC, but got a degree while still running the site.)
