Every time I see SemiAccurate I remember their love for AMD and their constant, unending hate for Nvidia: https://semiaccurate.com/2009/10/01/nvidia-fakes-fermi-boards-gtc/ https://semiaccurate.com/2009/10/01/nvidia-fakes-fermi-board... I don't have any dog in this fight, SA is just a terrible news source.

But they were right in that case... I know it's a biased source but I've seen a lot of accurate info there in the past

    It was widely reported on afterwards. Look at the bottom of the article, they mention Nvidia's cover-up.

They don't like Intel or Nvidia, but their facts tend to be mostly accurate. I wouldn't listen to any of their financial or market-share predictions since the market has remarkable inertia that disconnects it from technical factors.

  Accurate facts, the best kind of facts.

  I would say they are semi accurate.

The article has a lot of boasting about their exclusive scoop. That and their annoyingly watermarked images.

  They started using watermarks this way when their news were plagiarized some 5 years ago by even big sites such as WCCFTech, Tom’s and others. It is ugly but understandable, they are independent, don’t live on ads, aren’t invited for most events and barely receive pre-release hardware for reviews.

It might feel one sided, but I think SemiAccurate is one of the few places remaining doing old fashioned journalism (ie pursuing sources and gathering information from the real world). Most other tech news websites have devolved into wrapping up marketing materials from tech companies into "reviews".

  Calling Jensen “Dear Leader” though? Did I catch that right? If you have good info why resort to tasteless and frankly racist language?

It is semi-accurate after all.
