look him as your opportunity!

hey intel! Its clear that you have no media in his region then look him as your opportunity, I know that in Asia a popular man could increase the sales very well because Asians has very different mind and they follow their head, thank you INQ to disclosure his story, hope to a day that we have no slave media like FUDZILLA (FAKEZILLA) and Techpowerup!!

Your showing your true colors Sylvie

A pathetic attempt in trying to make someone look bad. This story is fabricated. The poor guy in Iran can't even sue you Sylvie for posting this crap. Now go ahead and delete my post as you have done in the past. This so called news site is so heavily biased it has become a joke. Sylvie used to write good. Now it's apparant she's getting good money, OR, typical j.ew taking a pi.ss @ poor m.uslim. Shame!!!

Free Handouts == Website Fail

Give me a break, this guy bitches because Corporate Intel didn't give him the free handout he thinks he deserves? Sorry this is not how things work. HotOverclock.com is not a significant website in the community, it is not a priority on Intels or any other hardware manufacturer's list of give-free-crap to. Not one company is required to give free hardware to review websites for review. This is complete bullshit. If he wants to cry about it, go ahead, it just makes him look like an idiot. Go buy the damn product when it is available and do your best, honest review. Build your reputation up from the ground like everyone else has. Even when you reach the top, you are never, ever guaranteed free product, let alone have the guall to complain about it.

Maybe Intel are sick of "buy a 920 and overclock it to save cash"?

Lots of 920 sales are possibly eating into the higher priced chip's profit margins. Could that be it?

There are loads of reviews of the 920, google 'em.

The problem with the 920 isn't the lack of reviews, it's the high price of the cpu and the mobo.

Luckily the ram price has halved to under £100 for 6GB triple channel.

Re: other comments, love the mansion review etc, the comments are 1/4 the fun of the inq.

Well Boo Hoo

So every site on the internet that wants to write a review of this processor doesn't get a free one provided for them : BOO HOO. What in the wide world of sports makes them think they are entitled to one ?

Yeah but

I fully understand that the boo-hoo tier 4 and 5 review sites that are run by a guy in his mom's basement can't all be satisfied - but it's frustrating for larger sites who have been around for years, seeing smaller sites with less traffic who are getting exclusive or pre-release kit. One has to ask who they're friends with, cause believe me, it's not just the numbers they look at.

Here is what he should do:

He should copy benchmark sites and change the name.. Kinda similar to what the INQ does most of the times!

love the

AMD ad at the end of the article, very fitting!

wtf

Maybe he should change his name to John or Bill.. Having a name from Johnny Quest or Iran will not help anyone in this moment in time. I'm not racist, but a realist. Plus if he wasn't such a bullsh*tter, Intel might have given him a chip. I can't think of no other reason why a company wouldn't do business with you unless you're shady. Bullsh*t reviewers get bullsh*t back

I want to review mansions!

I want to run a blog that reviews mansions, who will give me one? Maybe a fairy tail castle with a moat.

If this chump can't get his hands on a processor that other people have got, IMO he sucks as a (potential) reviewer. Does he need ram and a mobo? Does he need an OS? Can he get a psu or does he need one of those too? Don't forget elecrticity and an internet connection, does intel need to pay all his bills?

'Intel please send me a house with utilities and a computer already assembled so I can review it.'

He has 4 options

(1) He can run a site that makes enough profit so it pays for the stuff he reviews.

(2) He can get enough media clout so his opinion matters, while pandering to Intel.

(3) He can accept that his tinkering is a hobby, and like many hobbies it costs money.

(4) He can cry.

Options 1 and 2 take effort, option 3 takes at least as much self-awareness as SkyNet, and option 4 is what he is choosing. Does he think Intel will ever give him anything now? They would be crazy to send the world the message that you can get free chips if you wine.

Oh Booooo Hoooo

Oh Booooo Hooooo, poor babies. Guess what, intel wouldn't give free stuff to me, or any of my friends either. and I even promised to review it on my BLOG. Jeeeze You'd think they were in the business of SELLING chips, instead of giving them away...... WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Lol

That reviewer shouldn't be so surprised that a company with Zionist leanings won't return his calls or send him free review-samples. He might use them for simulating nuclear weapons! If he wants to do that, he ought to pay full price like everyone else. He'd have better luck with AMD _

INQ Poll

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
