100% agree.
When the Zen 3 lineup was released also, he was soooo critical of the 5800x against the other Zen 3 chips, oh now look, thats the one he picks to go up against intel.
I think with that youtube channel and that guy, I think he does a really good job of testing things is a fair and unbiased way, gives all the stats which I am sure are accurate, then almost seems to ignore all of the hard work he has just done, and gives an opinion based on god knows what.
As to which CPU, I have a 5800x and the thing is a beast, couln't be happier, do not regret choosing that over a 5900x or 5600x and definitiely not against anything intel at the moment. They overclock so well also which is what his figures dont factor in (forgive me if he has I ahvnt watched the video but I am familiar with teh channel he doesnt normally).
I think he's just a little activist in nature, i mean, look, he did the same thing with Intel, in his testing the 9900K was "6% faster than the 3600" of course its more than that, its actually about 20% faster, if not more if you allow the 9900K to really stretch its legs, its very easy to engineer your gaming results so that the GPU rather than the CPU is the bottleneck, even at 1080P, and this is what he did comparing the 9900K to the 3600.
Why? not because he's an AMD fanboi, or that he hates Intel, he's the type of guy who calls himself an "influencer" He thinks its his job to force these companies to drag down prices and he doesn't think he's lying to his audience, technically he isn't, but its still very misleading, 90% of his audience will take his slides at face value, they ain't going to understand that what you're actually looking at is the performance of the GPU, not the CPU, and he knows it.
Let me show you something.
The first slide is taken from one of those videos where he made the argument that the Ryzen 3600 is just as fast as every other CPU, he particulary points at the Ryzen 5600X and makes the argument its not worth much more than the 3600, what are AMD doing charging this much more money for the same CPU..... that sort of crap.
He used a 6700XT as the test GPU, which he states at the beginning of the video with some ridiculous excuse as to who not a much master GPU, and his makes that admission so quickly if you had tuned out for 3 seconds you would have missed it.
So, notice the 220'ish FPS of the 3600, the 230'ish FPS of the 5600X? What's that? +5%? There it is proving his argument.
The second slide, the same game, the same benchmark, different reviewer, notice the 3600 at about 220'ish FPS?, not notice the 5600X at 320 FPS, a whopping 45% faster.
