losing a great un bias review for hardware website is a big loss to everyone that loves hardware. Techpowerup and hardocp have always been the places i go to check reviews on what i want to buy since forever, now only one is left for me

good luck at intel kyle!

Ah, that explains all the NVIDIA bashing in the recent months.

Unbiased? Debatable now...

"director of enthusiast engagement" ?

Enthusiasts: "Our $2000 Extreme unlocked edition runs super hot, do i have to delid it?"

Intel: "Don't overclock it"

Oh damn what's gonna happen next? W1zzard joining Nvidia or Intel?

Shame to see good people go to work for a Pos company with scumbag management like Intel. Goodbye great products, un-bias benchmarks, fair prices and pushing tech advances for consumers, hello Muh Profit Marginz. Sorry. In a bad mood.

Grow up kiddo and get a life.

Xzibit · Mar 19, 2019

Intel is on a tech sites hiring roll, PC Perspective and HardOCP. Whos next?

I'm not offended by what you said because i'm 25 and have no life yet. I dont think i stand much chance of ever getting one. But having no life has nothing to do with pointing out facts about Intel.

Anyway I'll stfu as i don't wanna get points again for apologising to a mod for being off topic.

You're a real adult like that, aren't ya... Did you know studies pointed out that adolescent gamers are the ones that use that line most frequently? So that's adults calling one another kids. Case in point, the person you're talking to.

I'll leave you with that thought, maybe you'll 'grow' from it.

This has already started to drift off topic, be nice people or leave the room.

Shhh

rtwjunkie · Mar 19, 2019

Am I wrong? Wasn’t this a news story approximately 6 months ago?

Edit: I guess I was thinking of Ryan Shrout going to Intel. Never mind, nothing to see here...

No, you're going to stay here even if we have to strap you to the chair (and of course nail the chair to the floor). :roll:

You will try. But w1zzard is tricky. He has a magic power known as "I pay the bills dude."

Vayra86 · Mar 19, 2019

To get back on topic... it sure does look like Intel is buying whatever it deems necessary to push the gamer button. Get ready for a steady stream of marketing BS.

Who else better to serve it to you than a friendly site/face.

trparky · Mar 19, 2019

w1zzard, please resist the call of the money bags. We've already lost two big and good review people (Kyle and Ryan), we can't lose another one.

And that rumored and yet continuously illusive GPU to appear...

At the end of the day, who cares its business. if i had a similar business, i'd be a ruthless barsteward too. as long as we get better/cheaper products i don't give two plops and a intercourse.
