Re: Lacklustre reporting.
Well, I'm sad you don't believe me, but it's the truth. I wrote about Zen last year. When Ryzen was announced at the end of 2016, all that was revealed was the name, and then later on, the on-sale date was announced, and tomorrow it's coming out.
At El Reg, we don't really do the whole trickle-feed of hype. I'd rather wait for the thing to arrive and do one decent story on it rather than act as an external marketing wing for AMD.
We've written about Hololens and the S8 and so on, but we also wrote about and mentioned Zen last year - in August, September, April, and October. Where I've written about Hololens, it was either in passing about Windows 10 or was an exclusive on the headset's DSP chipset.
I can tell you're a massive fan of AMD, and I'm pleased for you. But I'm not going to act as the advertising wing of a multibillion-dollar corp, especially when other sites are tripping over themselves to say nice things about the CPU.
