You are really showing your computer age here. Tom's is a site with many skeletons in its closet, not just it's anti-AMD/pro-Intel spin. If you remember the controversy between Tom and Van then maybe you'd understand why people don't read Tom's. Tom's also had a highly condescending and smug article written against AMD users who challenged him on the BAPCo 2002 benchmark.

I'm also leaving out the fact that Tom essentially sold-out on many reviews for the benefit of ad money. I'm in the camp that once you've sold-out, it scars your reputation for life. It's for the same reason I no longer trust Anandtech. He wasn't a sell-out until Conroe, but since then it seems much of his writing is "double-talk".

I guess you have some kind of a evidence to show that Anand is an Intel paid pumper? I do agree that Toms is biased when it comes to writing reviews (very obvious from how they word their articles), however you claiming Anand is an Intel paid pumper without any evidence is ignorant. What's your evidence that Anand is paid pumper? Their articles that show Core 2s outperforming K8s by 25%+? Oh wait, every tech sites came up with the same conclusion. I would like to add that Dailytech is not part of Anand so don't confuse them.

Overall, the performance advantage still goes to Intel's Core 2 lineup but there are a few situations where the performance between the two families is close enough to be considered a tie. There are also the outlier cases where the Athlon 64 X2 actually ends up faster than the Core 2

Anand is soo biased.
