>So why here?

99.999999% of internet comments on M2, or even anything hardware related are pretty much junk. Anandtech used to do some explanation into these sort of things, but as it turns out people aren't interested in in-depth analysis, they just want benchmarks. You end up having them drifting towards mass / mainstream media or LinusTechTip type of content. RealWorldTech doesn't do any these anymore, partly because there is very little money to be made on the consumer side of things. You have other site which talks about Semiconductor Engineering and Business type of content. Unfortunately every time they were posted on HN, no one has shown any interest or complaining about how the content looks too "Enteprisy or Cooperate" because they were intended for B2B settings.

It also isn't just consumers or enthusiast. When viewed from the outside most people would have expected programmers, or what they now called Software Engineers to have some sort of High Level understanding on hardware. But most developers, especially Web Developers, are so abstracted from hardware they dont know or do not care about it.

Broadly speaking this isn't just with hardware, but also every other subject.
