There was some speculation back when the first Ryzen came out that Anandtech (among other reviewers) were pressured to not do the gaming benchmarks at all, or to do them last, since the gaming performance was so abysmal. I think they delayed those numbers for a few months.

It's very suspicious when Ryzen 2 numbers are that far off and whilst they keep getting all this amazing access to AMD for trips and CEO interviews and new toys.

Anandtech has nothing to gain if they're the only ones with invalid benchmarks.

Edit: If the comments on the AT article can be believed, then Toms Hardware's Intel benchmarks didn't include the latest Meltdown/Spectre firmware patches because they didn't know that the X470 platform had them to begin with.
