Talking about Tech Report article listed here, I had a LOT more fun and enjoyed a lot reading the comments which provided a LOT more info and good sense than the article itself.

So, anyone reading this just click on the link to the original article and start reading the comments. It's definitely WORTH it.
Well this is the pot calling the kettle black, techreport, albeit a decently made and interesting to read site, signs all sorts of NDA and gets free cherry-picked test samples that they then test according to the manufacturers rules, and now when the bribes are slow they go 'moral' and complain? Not much for selfrespect then I conclude.

Why did you leave AMD Jerry, this idiot that took your place has to clue. Please oh please get someone who isn't a twice over lobotamy victim like this moron.

We need competition in the market. So many praise Intel (and rightly so) but I was around before they had competition and trust me we don't want to go back to those days. Please if there is a god either give this Hector Ruiz a brian for chistmas or something.

Anandtech refused to take the trip also and had some stuff to say about it.

Anandtech and TechReport did send staff to each event... It just wasn't Scott and Ananad.
AMD are awfully fond of sticking that rusty fork through their foot. I think they've actually had to move onto the other foot now.

I don't think the guy runs his site out of the Southern part of the U.S.

(I could be wrong...)
