Why the fuck would AMD embargo benchmarks?

so all the review sites release their reviews at the same time instead of trying to rush their reviews out to beat the competition and doing a slapdash job in the process

the same reason game companies do it. because their products are shit.

How fucking new are you? This is common practice and has been going on as far back as I can remember (the 90's).

No, what you are referring to is game companies not sending out keys beforehand.

AMD gave a bunch of tech sites Ryzen CPUs and told them all they can post their review on the 28th, the day it goes live.

Because you're a fucking retard. Kill yourself, shit for brains.

Smart given the current state of journalism. They would just cram the thing in a machine, run cinebench and shit out an article as wuickly as posible.

For the same reason people buy shit.

Not to overhype.

TOO LATE!!!!!!

>>59041411
Because they don't want people to have info before they officially launch?

Why send out review samples if they'd spill the beans before they're ready?
