So sad. Anandtech, as much as the cracks were starting to show through the past couple of months (at least two articles, one of which I firmly recall was supposedly written by Gavin-- but instead both articles looked like poorly vetted ChatGPT/LLM/AI bot-written garbage, several comments by Ryan Smith, the current editor in chief, at least addressed it/denied it in the comments/whatnot)....
... but even to the end, their last article being the AMD Zen 5 reviews, they remained my primary go-to for CPU, GPU, memory deep dives. To a lesser extent SSDs and PSUs but those faded long before the end as the primary contributors behind those left earlier.
Tom's Hardware at least looks like it has absorbed some Anandtech contributors, and we have the recent emergence of Chips and Cheese at least for CPU and GPU architecture stuff. That reminds me, I need to make another donation to Chips and Cheese.

Anyway. This makes me sad.
/me pours one out for SilentPCReview, Techreport, HardOCP, David Kanter's long-abandoned site, and a few others...
