It's BS IMO.

Hardware Secrets also shouldn't take it upon themselves to arbitrarily decide not to mention features (CUDA et all) just because the writer thinks they have no impact upon his readers. They are features which should be talked about even in passing in order to let said readers decide for themselves whether they are important or not.

As for the list. Haha. Let's see where we stand:

Did they write that we have an architecture advantage? (Y/N) NO. However, it has been proven that NVIDIA DOES have an architectural advantage in DX11.

GTX 480 Pricing (Good, Too High, Too Low): GOOD. Because it really is.

GTX 470 Pricing (Good, Too High, Too Low) GOOD. See above. The pricing is good.

Did they complain about power? YES

Did they complain about noise? YES

Did they complain about heat? YES

Design Garage NO TESTING

Supersonic Sled NO TESTING

Water/Hair Testing NO

Unigine 2.0 YES

MS DX11 SDK NO

Stone Giant NO

Folding@Home NO

Did they test with Catalyst AI On? (Y/N) YES

Did they call out AMD on their cheat? NO

So according to Charlie, we would be cut out. A number of other large websites would be cut out as well (HardOCP, LegitReviews, Anandtech just to name a few) but they aren't and won't be.
