    I imagine it is more to do with the number of junk reviews people do. I don’t watch much in the way of reviews, but just tried researching for a workstation. Most video reviews are worse reads of marketing nonsense than the company’s hype image landing pages.

    Looking at people doing stuff like benchmarks on CPUs that space is nonsense junk data too. I don’t have a CS degree but even I know about CPUset isolation for processes, how the CPU scheduler works. The results from the way most people are running benchmarks are not well thought out or reflective of the ways software can run on the hardware.

      That is definitely a new and strange take. Knowing Nvidia I highly doubt that is the reason.

      This is only a couple weeks after most outlets reported on the shallow fart that was the 4060 launch.

      I’m almost all cases where companies restrict review units or have release day embargoes it is because they are expecting lukewarm or worse response.

      I don’t think Nvidia has done anything recently to deserve such a charitable view

        I love me some Steve Burke. Especially those times where he sasses out on tech companies’ terrible decisions.
