Intel is Trying to Manipulate AMD Ryzen Launch?

Intel is Trying to Manipulate AMD Ryzen Launch?

Yesterday in the forums somebody asked if we received Intel review guidelines from Intel for the Ryzen review as well. A very curious question, I answered no. And if they did we simply never use them as we do things our own way (as we always do).

They question itself was already curious but if we dive deeper into the story we see the claims have been made by Semi-Accurate, not the most unbiased source. Then again, we see no reason for them to make this stuff up. Also some other press apparently received that email. So yes, as it seems Intel has been reaching out to certain media in shameless attempt to influence upcoming benchmark scores in their favor. Intel's PR department is contacting media and calling in favors with the press by issuing them  "guidelines" on how to review AMD Ryzen. Intel's PR emails include this line: "call us before you write." 

This is the story of the day for sure. It is going to be a rough week for Intel, that's for sure. But if true, come on Intel, really?

I guess tech news is taking a page from the playbook used by the anti-Trump Media. Print unconfirmed rumors from anonamous sources as news, and tell your supporters to repeat it ad nausium even after the record has been corrected.



Rofl... they were only doing what was mandated upon them by the Democrats in congress through the Community Reinvestment Act. You know, that law originally passed by Jimmy Carter and upgraded by Bill Clinton that part of it forces banks to give home loans to people with little to no downpayment or without the income to pay back those loans unless they are extremely frugal financially?

Funny how you did exactly what i mentioned in the previous reply. Repeat a lie to push an agenda.

And yet your partisan rant is both wrong and serves no purpose here.
