yup, charlie loves to make fun of intel, but then, this is different.

> The editors-in-chief of two of Americas top PC hardware and technology publications have confirmed to Wccftech that they have indeed been approached by Intel regarding upcoming Ryzen reviews. Although both said that it was business as usual. Affirming that Intels response following AMDs Ryzen announcement was what they had expected it to be. Adding that nothing was particularly unusual about the emails they received from Intel.

maybe it really is business as usual...?

#4Uhh, where are these claims on SemiAccurate's site? I don't see jack from Charlie or Tom over at SA in regards to Intel demanding they do things a certain way, the only thing of note I see is that Intel appears to have started talking to them after nearly a year long drought, then again Intel did cull their entire PR/Marketing staff right around when that drought started.

Naivety at its best.

I know, like, if they wanna reference SA, just link to where you saw it over there or in their forums, instead of spreading rumors...

Yeah, but I'd be surprised if Charlie didn't squawk about it, when it comes to vendor demands, I just don't see him going silently into the night if Intel asked him to benchmark it in a certain manner.
Edit: Charlie did complain: http://wccftech.com/intel-playing-dirty-undercut-amd-ryzen/

"This last bit may explain why Intel PR sent out a last-minute “call us before you write” email to most of the press, but not SemiAccurate, after hours last night."
