Many of the writer jobs are unaffected, what they write will now just
appear on Tom's Hardware, which is owned by the same company that owns
Anandtech.  Which makes it all the more surprising that Anandtech has
lasted as long as it has, as it's been pretty much redundant with Tom's
Hardware for the last 10 years.  I mean how many AMD Ryzen 9 9950X CPU
reviews does one company need?  At least PC Gamer's seperate 9950X review
can justify its existence as a dumbed down version for a broader audience.
