Ask HN : Discussion sites for hardware geeks?
Which hardware sites do you follow? Any good discussion forums? One site I enjoy is the Beyond3d forums .. any others like it? Some place where you can have meaningful discussion on things like CPU architectures and GPUs? HN has never been a good forum for this (HN is mostly only good for business, web and science news). hardware.reddit doesnt seem active either.

- MikeW 18y agoI find http://hardforum.com/ http://hardforum.com/ to be excellent if you want to discuss hardware. It's the forum site from hardocp.com
- tstegart 18y agoTom's Hardware, Anandtech and Ars Technica have some pretty good nerdy forums.
- mrkurt 18y agoI'm biased, but the Ars Technica forums are pretty sweet (http://episteme.arstechnica.com http://episteme.arstechnica.com). The discussion threads about the hardcore hardware articles are pretty good there, too.

- blasdel 18y agoThere's not that many people out there whose interest in hardware extends beyond: * Regurgitated Vendor PR, idiotic brand flamewars * Filling up shopping carts at Newegg * Fad-driven tutorial bullshit about 'mods' and 'hacks' The sterotypical participant in such forums is an adolescent fanboy whose coworkers at Best Buy think he's a genius.
- vizard 18y agoPrecisely. Thats why I am looking for something like HN of hardware.
- adityakothadiya 18y agoI've started http://siliconverge.com http://siliconverge.com for semiconductor and hardware folks. it has small community though. I'm trying to spread the word. Wanna help me and join the forces in spreading the word to more people and have a nice focused site for hardware folks? Email me: aditya AT siliconverge.com if you are interested.
- vizard 18y agoThat does look interesting. Will let my friends know too :)
- adityakothadiya 18y agoThanks for your kind words. Yes, any kind of help will be appreciated. And if you have suggestions/feedback, then don't hesitate to shoot me an email. Thanks again.
