Breaking News: AnandTech Bids Farewell After 27 Years of Hardware Expertise
[Published: March 17, 2023]
In a shocking turn of events, AnandTech, one of the most respected and well-established technology publications, has announced its decision to shut down after an illustrious 27-year run. The website, founded by Anand Lal Shimpi in 1996, has been a go-to source for in-depth reviews, analysis, and news on the latest advancements in the world of computer hardware.
AnandTech has been a pioneer in the tech journalism space, known for its meticulous testing methodologies, insightful analysis, and expert opinion pieces. Over the years, the publication has covered everything from the evolution of CPUs and GPUs to storage solutions, motherboards, and computer cases.
The news of AnandTech’s closure has sent shockwaves through the tech community, with many lamenting the loss of a trusted voice and source of information. The decision is reportedly due to a combination of factors, including the increasing costs of running a publication, the decline of online advertising revenue, and the rise of social media as a primary source of information.
"We are grateful for the opportunity to have been a part of this incredible journey, and we are proud of the impact we have had on the tech industry," said Anand Lal Shimpi, Founder of AnandTech. "We appreciate the loyalty and support of our readers and advertisers over the years, and we will always cherish the memories and knowledge gained during our time in the tech industry."
As the tech community bids farewell to AnandTech, fans and readers are taking to social media to express their gratitude and share their favorite articles and memories from the publication. While the news is undoubtedly sad, it serves as a reminder of the ever-evolving nature of the tech industry and the importance of innovation and adaptation in the face of changing times.

RIP
After nearly three decades of delivering cutting-edge technology news and in-depth hardware reviews, AnandTech, the renowned tech website, has officially closed its doors. The announcement was made by the site’s editor-in-chief, Ryan Smith, in a heartfelt farewell post. Thankfully, all of AnandTech's previous content will remain accessible to its dedicated readers.
In his post, Ryan Smith noted that the site is saying goodbye after 27 years of engaging with tech and hardware enthusiasts, and no new articles will be published. He wrote:
“…Few things last forever, and the written technology journalism market is not what it once was, and it will never return to those days. So, it’s time for AnandTech to close its chapter and allow the next generation of technology journalists to find their place in this new era."
AnandTech Says Goodbye After 27 Years
Ryan Smith added, "For better or worse, we’ve reached the end of a long journey — a journey that began with a review of an AMD processor and ends with one too." Over nearly three decades, AnandTech built a loyal following among hardware enthusiasts, largely due to its meticulous reviews of motherboards, chipsets, and other hardware components.
Founded in 1997 by Anand Lal Shimpi, who managed the site until his retirement from journalism in 2014, AnandTech became a staple in the tech community. Moving forward, several of its team members will continue publishing their work on Tom’s Hardware. Despite operating under the same parent company, Future PLC, since 2014, both websites have maintained their distinct brands.
Ryan Smith assured readers that Future PLC will keep AnandTech’s archive available indefinitely and that the site’s forum community will continue to thrive.
