This is sad news. End of an era. One of the best technical review sites of its time.

    Noooooo!

    I’ve been following Anand and his replacements there at Anandtech since Anand only did early youtube type videos on Yahoo lol. Anand was considered a n00b by Comdex goers and reviewers alike. Back then, competition from the likes of Kyle @ [H]ardOCP, John @ AMDZone, cmdrtaco @ /., TheInquirer (now theregister), Sharky Extreme, Tomshardware and many others I honestly don’t remember off the top of my head that really ruled the roost.

    Anand made a name for himself in the company of some very tough competition.

    Hats off to the man and his team over the years, they had a really great run.

      “cmdrtaco”

      Now there’s a name I’ve not heard in a great long while…

      Time…is a very strange thing.

    Ian Cutress’s technical deep dives were amazing. After he left, the whole side went downhill. RIP Anandtech.

    I think I’ve been reading AnandTech since around 2000. Sad to see it go for sure!

    Damn. I used to frequent that site all the time from my teenage years up through college and even relatively recently. Their articles were always very in-depth and well written.
