I'm with the Mob on this one. Most of the articles are biased , misleading and/or lack information required to understand results . Not to mention some "weird looking numbers".
I remember a couple of years ago when the P4 came out , it went from a total goofup from Intel to the best thing since sliced bread , all in one week.
We usually call it Tom's World Of the Fantastic on this side of the Atlantic. But my favourite if from a friend of mine who called it "The Way of the Exploding Tom" (obscure
reference).
However, rarely (very) , there are a few resonable articles, mainly in the wireless department.
At least they're not as blunt as Rodney. Can you say "kick ass product" ? It's what you get when you live on sponsors.
As far as reading goes, even in sites i respect, i try to keep a objective view. I usually read Anandtech, 2cpu , Aces hardware, dans data , and also some others like xbitlabs , u Inquirer.
