At the top of the news section of this site there is a list of ‘Most Popular News Stories.'

This is tamper proof in the way that we can't manipulate it (though I don't know why we would need to). It runs itself and changes according to the algorithms and has proved highly accurate against benchmarking with Google Analytics.

However I noticed today that the top stories currently (over 24-36 hours) are all concerning AMD or have AMD strongly attached to them. This has never happened before either for AMD or any single company or topic monopolizing the most read news stories.

I am the first to admit that we have run a fair few stories on AMD lately, certainly more than we have on Intel, but that is just because there has been a lot going on in the AMD camp that has kept us busy.

But it is also interesting to see that for you, our readers, AMD is a HOT topic and so damn popular that even a story we posted in March-06 is being read in large enough numbers again to have popped back into the charts! Normally, to be in that position we are talking several thousand unique visitor/impression figures per story, so it's no mean task for you all to have done this!
