is this clickbait?
No it isn't. The title and thumbnail are fine, it isn't even that sensational compared to many other tech video titles (by LTT and other channels as well), but people in this subreddit are more than happy to literally just make shit up because they don't want to acknowledge when LTT does things right.
The most upvoted comment in this thread is a user intentionally misrepresenting the purpose of the video as a serious review so they can talk trash, but if you actually watch the video it is clearly a product showcase and NOT a review.
Adding to that, it doesn't really help when we have users who can't tell the difference between product showcases/info vs. a full review anymore and misflair their posts.
This then derails many of the comments about it not being a proper review, which happened with the last GN motherboard roundup too. Always make sure to report when stuff like this pops up.
What's clickbait about this?
Didnt even try gaming on it. It would be fun to see the results
So they tested cinebench and counter strike...
I expected more interesting and appropriate benchmarks
They also only compared it to the M1 ultra from apple. The video was entertaining, but so misleading.
Your expectations were different than the content LTT provides. People don't watch it to get what you were hoping to get out of it.
The reason someone would watch LTT is exactly what they did....some 15 year olds were probably wondering how Counterstrike would work on a 128 core CPU, LTT delivered to it's core audience. You're not one of them. Sorry.
You're not one of them. Sorry.
in this case a 'congratulations' would be more appropriate i think :P
True lol.
Cinebench
Can we ban reviewers to focus mostly on Cinebench as a general purpose CPU benchmark?
It has its niche. But please. Stop basing CPU performance on Cinebench.
This video isn't even meant to be a review.
This is perhaps more superficial than I'd care to admit, but every time he pronounces Genoa like that it causes my eye to twitch.
Ja know what? It doesn’t bother me.
Unrelated but this is somehow the first LTT video thats ever popped up on any of my feeds since the controversy a few months ago, LTT just completely vanished for me
Plus it's shit
me too. but given I unsub from their channels and unfollow them from twitter.
LTT videos have that late night TV informercial energy now. Anyone notice this?
Yeah I always feel like he has spent too much time with this kids, or not enough. So now he talks to his audience as if they were kids.
AMAAAAZING!
So now he talks to his audience as if they were kids.
...who do you think their main audience is? It's entertaining tech content for 12m subscribers. It should be plainly obvious that it isn't for adult professionals interested in niche workloads and deep reviews.
this is video is garbage even by LTT standards
Can we not post LTT here? This isn't /r/computerentertainmenttvshow
Oh here come the edgy Redditors who hate anything "mainstream". LTT is popular therefore the "elite enthusiasts" must hate it.
Absolute children.
Another banging Video about a banging CPU, nice!
