Any reason as to why they closing down???
It's implied that it was a decision by management. If I had to guess, it's related to money and/or the redundancy cause by the same parent company owning both Tom's Hardware and Anandtech.
Kind of unfortunate, since I always thought Anandtech had the better articles, but I guess this also preserves Anandtech's legacy in some ways.
Anandtech was more nerdy and technical and I presume less people were reading their articles But also the quality of their content was far superior.
