Founder & Editor-in-Chief
Muhammad Ahmad
Muhammad Ahmad is the founder and editor-in-chief of TechSilico. He reads the published benchmark results from the outlets that actually measure hardware - RTINGS, Notebookcheck, DXOMARK, GSMArena, SoundGuys and others - cross-checks them against manufacturer specifications, and explains what they add up to for someone about to spend their own money. TechSilico does not test hardware, and every article says so.

How Muhammad Ahmad works
“TechSilico does not run a hardware test lab and never claims first-hand testing. Every measurement we publish is credited to the outlet that produced it and linked to the page it came from. If we cannot verify a figure against a real source, we leave it out rather than estimate it.”
