The story
In its early stages, Matthew Witheiler was co-owner and Senior Hardware Editor, creating insightful and in-depth reviews for the site.
In 2006, an AnandTech editor launched a spin-off called DailyTech, a technology news site. The move followed a similar evolution of the news section of AnandTech's peer publication, Tom's Guide, into TG Daily some months earlier.
On December 17, 2014, Purch announced the acquisition of AnandTech.
In 2018, AnandTech and other Purch consumer brands were sold to Future.
The editorial team also included Senior Editor Ian Cutress (who departed in February 2022), as well as motherboard expert Gavin Bonshor. In January 2023, Gavin Bonshor was promoted to the Senior Editor position, effectively replacing Dr. Ian Cutress, the previous Senior Editor. Since AnandTech's shutdown and the colossal archive of data and content was scrubbed off the internet by its publisher, Future PLC, the ex-senior editor Gavin Bonshor created BonTech Labs, in which he intends to carry on testing PC hardware via AnandTech's previous and rigorous testing methodology. Gavin Bonshor also writes for EnosTech, which is another UK based technology publication.
On August 30, 2024, AnandTech announced that it had ended publication effective immediately and that the site will remain online as an archive, while its community forum will remain operational. However, on August 1, 2025, the contents of the site were removed with only the forum remaining.
