There are actually some other good articles about Fusion and its performance characteristics. It seems to be changing the mind of some folks after usage.
Fusion vs alternatives
Is that me or he was clearly against fusion drive last month? This article is dated from October, but I know I have read his stuff last month and he was very much against fusion drive...

He was. He's very cranky and usually against anything that is not his special configured Mac Pro. Seems more interested in specs than actually getting stuff done. A measurbator more or less. He's also a paid shill so take his opinions with a grain of salt.
This is another outstanding review of the fusion drive.
There are only 3 good articles about fusion drive on the web right now, and they all come from anandtech.
I dunno, I thought I did a pretty good job in my post on Ars. Anand even linked to me on page 4 of his write-up.
Anandtech's knowledge of the computing world and technology in general is second to none. If they say something is good, then as far as I am concerned, it is good.

As to being a paid shill, care to elaborate? I've been following anandtech since 1997-1998 and have yet to see anand steer me wrong with any product.
He asks the hard questions, does detailed analysis, doesn't put BS in his graphs, etc.
"His opinion is different to mine!" does not mean "shill".
This
Not this.
Anand doesn't just take things on face value and asks the difficult questions. He is skeptical, and this is good until a product has been proven.
I've never seen him massively against anything, but until the way it works is laid out and his concerns are laid to rest, he will not give it the thumbs up.
Being interested in spec is HIS JOB. He's a hardware junkie and people depend on his opinion for product guidance.

To be fair, I'm a huge Anandtech fan and he does have a sort of pro-Intel slant to many of this writings, even just qualitatively speaking. But that said, everyone has biases and preferences that can subconsciously affect their writing, and even if somehow he actually is a secretly paid Intel shill, it clearly has not affected the quality and *objective measurements* of his work.
