  So much crazy news in the last 24 hours, starting with Anandtech shutting down.  I read Anandtech when Anand was a high schooler and I was still in college learning my craft.  It's not just traditional media that got decimated, tech publications have been affected too. https://ww…

  End of an era.  And there is sadness that some of these kind of technology-first publications are going away, only to be left behind by those who specialize in the spectacle of technology.  Thank you Anandtech for 27 great years of learning, and geekery. https://www.anandtech.com…

  It's so hard watching the web collapse and ossify into a glorified QVC channel.  The Fed is (probably) going to reduce interest rates in September y'all.  Polish up your resume, get a desk job, start a forum, and start the cycle over again. https://www.anandtech.com/...

  Anandtech was amazing up to 2014 .  When Anand Shimpi left Anandtech for Apple, the website was only running on brand name.  When Dr Ian Cutress left in 2022, it began running on fumes.  This was inevitable and no one should be surprised since 2014.  At least they didn't sell the…

  So sad to see AnandGech shutting down.  Piles of good (if gorpy) chip coverage over the years.  Consolation prize: contra usual practice in this situation, the existing site will remain on the web. https://www.anandtech.com/...

  Damn AnandTech is shutting down.  Literally no one else does in-depth hardware reviews in tech.  This is a massive gap now knowledge.  Like a review on AnandTech isn't just a few canned benchmarks like you'd see on a site like the Verge.  These are deep dives into how the hardwar…

• @danseifert Dan Seifert on threads

  wow, this is a loss, nobody did in depth technical evaluation of hardware like AnandTech.  I constantly referred to their work as a journalist and still used it to understand things afterwards.  Much respect to the staff for never letting it get shittified, even after an acquisit…

  Damn, AnandTech is stopping publication:  —  “Still, few things last forever, and the market for written tech journalism is not what it once was - nor will it ever be again.  So, the time has come for AnandTech to wrap up its work, and let the next generation of tech journalists …

  The end of an era.  AnandTech will stop publishing articles after 27 years.  —  End of the Road: An AnandTech Farewell https://www.anandtech.com/...

  @Techmeme Hopefully keeping the site live, means there is a chance of a DPReview-style reprieve

  I'm legitimately sad over this #anandtech  —  https://www.anandtech.com/...

• @charlesarthur.bsky.social Charles Arthur on bluesky

  Wow.  Was this the last of the hardcore hardware review/analysis sites?  Perhaps the writing was on the wall when Apple poached one of their lead writers to go and work on its chips.  [embedded post]

• @ddsd.bsky.social David Olsen on bluesky

  RIP to PC hardware news and in depth analysis i checked almost daily from the late 90s through to mid 00s - hoping the site has been updated since my last visit.  [embedded post]

• @panzer @panzer on x

  Thank you @anandtech

• @benbajarin Ben Bajarin on x

  There are scantily few places I trust for truly unbiased performance reviews and technical analysis of silicon. Truly the end of an era and the gap they will leave will be significant.

• @mgsiegler M.G. Siegler on x

  Well this sucks. Legendary site and run.

• @benthompson Ben Thompson on x

  Wow. This is a site I learned from as a student and came to rely on as a professional. Salutations and sadness.

• @hardwarecanucks @hardwarecanucks on x

  This is a sad moments for us. Anand, the founder of AT, played a huge role in supporting HWC and guiding our testing methodologies in the early days. He, like his site, served as an inspiration and true benchmark for the entire tech review industry.

• @345triangle Sam Byford on x

  maybe the greatest ever tech site. whoever failed to ensure it continued forever should feel bad

• @saschasegan Sascha Segan on x

  This suuuuuccccccckkkkkksssssss and I say that not only as a former tech journalist, and a reader of teach journalism, but also as someone now in the chip industry who relied on AnandTech's deep, in-depth coverage of silicon products from both us and our competitors.

• @carygolomb Cary Golomb on x

  This was THE site I would go to for reviews on new gear. Man. Bittersweet. Nothing gold can stay.

• @r3dash Ershad Kaleebullah on x

  Anandtech is one of the reasons why I wanted to be a tech journalist. It is quite shocking to read this editorial and frankly saddening too. The future of long-form, in-depth detailed pieces on the latest processors is looking extremely bleak now. Having said that, thanks for

• @aschilling Andreas Schilling on x

  Very sad to hear that. @anandtech already existed when I started this job 21 years ago and it was always a daily point of contact for me. @anandshimpi and what he started was at least in some way an inspiration for what I'm doing today!

• @whipalash Palash Volvoikar on x

  This is the definitive end of an era. As a technology journalist, AnandTech was what you looked at and ultimately aspired to be. It was, and will remain the benchmark. Just happy that Future PLC will keep the site live if not active.

• @ryansmithat Ryan Smith on x

  There simply isn't enough space on Twitter to say what needs to be said. I've written for AnandTech for nearly two decades, and I've enjoyed every second of it. Sadly, we've reached the end of the road. But I thank all of our readers over the years; you've made it worth it

• @aexm Ana Milicevic on x

  I need a word that describes the type of sadness at the slow disappearance of early internet Good Places especially as these are being replaced by slop in the current generation. Like watching Alexandria burn if you knew how to read back then.

• @varunkrish Varun Krishnan on x

  This is such sad news for the world of tech journalism. It is not surprising as @anandshimpi quit about 10 years ago. But @RyanSmithAT @IanCutress @ganeshts continued the legacy quite well. Terrible end to what would be the best site for the geeks. Inspired so many of us to take

• @anandtech @anandtech on x

  After 27 years of providing in-depth coverage of the amazing world of PC and mobile hardware, AnandTech is saying farewell. We want to thank everyone from the AnandTech community for their support and passion for what we've done over the years https://www.anandtech.com/...

• @geek4dogs Ayman DogGeek on x

  @Techmeme @RyanSmithAT A huge loss for the tech community. AnandTech set a high bar for hardware reviews. Glad their archives will remain accessible.

• @nicgonfar Ncolás González F. on x

  @anandtech Really sad. There goes away, another pillar of excellence in tech journalism. Farewell, and wish you the best to the entire staff (current an past) for the next thing!

• @anandtech @anandtech on x

  AnandTech will stay online so readers can continue to access articles from our archive, and the forums will remain active to serve our community. Our sister site Tom's Hardware, will also continue to publish all the latest news, reviews and more from the PC world. Thank you all […
