It's weird to make "5 years later" test, and out of 21 games tested most are older than a year
Few of the titles that are from this year are kinda questionable choices:
I think it would be much more interesting video, if "5 years later" video was about checking how those CPU perform in today's games, not how well they perform in games released in last 5 years.
It’s practical to use their existing test suite. It allows for comparison against other parts they have previously tested. Plus plenty of people are still playing games from the past 5 years.
It's not good idea to compare hardware performance from different tests against each other. Even if they test the same game at same settings, testing procedure can be different, and that makes those tests kinda incomparable.
Just look at 5800x3d performance in this video and compare it to 5800x3d performance their video about 14900k from 1 month ago:
I'm all in for using few years old CPUs in benchmarks to see how they compare to newest CPUs, but if that was the goal of the video, they would've also tested newest CPUs.
Of course they are, plenty of people are still playing games older than 5 years too. I don't have a problem with testing older games, but when someone say "5 years later", "today's games", "to see which platform aged the best", "in 2023", when most of the games aren't "today's", aren't from "5 years later" CPUs were released, weren't released "in 2023", and say us nothing about how CPUs aged in 5 years, I find it confusing and kinda dishonest.
