    Tom’s Hardware wrote plenty of junk back in the day. I remember articles where Tom’s Hardware would say “AMD trashes Intel in this benchmark”, but the difference was barely measurable. It was like they had a form fill for what to say after showing a graph. If one side was ahead by any margin at all, it trashed the competition.

    Anandtech was more sobering, but their website was a mess. Go to any section of the site (storage, gpus, whatever) and product announcements are sorted together with reviews. There are about ten product announcements for every review. When trying to get a comparison of different products for a build, it was hard to track down a useful article.

    Neither site had much changed their layout in 20 years, but Tom’s Hardware at least makes it easier to find what you want.
