Some of their writers, who are quite excellent, still do. Others just seem to regurgitate press releases with very little useful investigation.

How critical of the lazy writers I am may seem outsized, but I grew up reading and learning from the much better version of Ars -one I used to subscribe to.

I hoping that phoronix will be able to redo the benchmark of the 9950x3D with this new X3D2 variant.

I might even shell out for an upgrade to AM5 and DDR5. On the other hand, my 5900X is still blazing fast.
