Most are just blinded AMD fans attacking the reviewer personally and not the review itself.

Anandtech's quality of review has also slipped since the glory days, so to say it is thorough or "unbiased" - you gotta have a short memory. Anandtech's own words were quoted in Intel marketing slides in 2006 for the Core2 presentation. You call that unbiased? Any AMD fan should have remembered that.

Anyway, it looks like Anand has taken some complaints seriously since he himself wrote the Phenom II review and not a random staff intern.
Now I love this forum as much as I love [H], but this kind of soap opera bull is getting eerily SF-like.

*Miss-Banana - the alternatives in your links are not SLI boards. Not much of a choice exactly, which is why I mention in the thread that the review should be updated if nVidia releases a better SLI board for AMD. << What are the chances of that happening though?
Please, don't EVER reference Anand and [H] in the same post. At least Anand has glory days to return to... [H] has always sucked (though I used to like the forums back in the day). Do you honestly think even in Anand's darkest hour they would have posted garbage like that "review"? Compare the [H] "review" to this:

I have no real bias towards or against AMD (current rig is Intel, previous was AMD), so I am not upset with Kyle's conclusion because I feel that AMD should win. I'm upset with that whole "review" because I feel it was a punch to the gut of reviewers everywhere. [H] is a site with a lot of traffic, and they honestly think it's OK to publish garbage like that for the masses to consume?
