Why some people are bashing HardOCP review about Phenom II ?

[YukonTrooper]

so... kyle´s "review" is the only one u ever saw??
how can a extreme edition c2q be a better buy???

Nope. In fact, Kyle's review is one of the worst I have read. He takes a very unprofessional approach to how he writes articles, and I am not in defense of his reporting skills in any way, shape, or form.

I don't think the Extreme Edition C2Q is being singled out as the better buy, even though it's the processor used in the review. I think the general statement is that if you buy a system from the ground up, a comparable C2Q system might still be the better purchase.

Really Yukon?
Without boring you with the many much more positive conclusions that sites like techreport and tomshardware came you, I am just going to ask you if a reviewer that fails to make phenom II run with the appropriate memory speed or size and then makes comment like:

The articles are more positive in tone, but the conclusions are comparable, and that's what I'm referring to. Kyle calls Phenom II a "loser", while other, more professional sites, refrain from using such slang and instead focus on the positives for Phenom II and what it brings to the table; however, the conclusions do not change and run parallel to what Kyle had to say. That's what I'm getting at.
