Tell me how any of what you just posted has anything to do with Alder Lake S?
As for Humbug, well I already challenged one of his IPC figures with actual data, but that was glossed over because it doesn't fit the narrative.
Someone else challenged one of your assertions about Intel HEDT and you glossed over that too.
It's ironic that I just posted a few thoughts about Alder Lake S as discussion starters and you completely ignored them.
You should take a breath for a minute and appreciate that this is a forum, not a fiefdom.
Wait, you did?? i don't remember that. We can do that now...
All CPU's at 4Ghz.

On average, including games and productivity in their testing Zen 3 IPC is up 16% on Zen 2, about 21% better on average than Coffee Lake.
Tho i have to be honest i don't trust his gaming comparisons so much, he pushes a narrative that Zen 3 is over priced, which is fine, i don't disagree with that, but he uses gaming slides that are very suspect to push that narrative, not that these slides are a lie, but he tends to use slower mid range GPU's with the highest possible IQ settings to off load as much as possible to the GPU denying the faster CPU use of its true performance overhead.
He very defiantly did that with this slide (Slide #1) and used it to make that argument using 6700XT. "oh see the 5600X is only 7% faster"
Slide #2 Steve Burke used an RTX 3080, a GPU about 40% faster, same game, same built in benchmark, again you see the 3600 at the same 210'ish frame rates HUB got but the 5600X is now at 330 FPS, not 230.
I like Steve from Hardware Unboxed, but his entire MO is winging about things that are too expensive, that's fine, quite often i agree with him, what i don't like is his deliberate manipulation of his audience to bolster his arguments, he does this because he knows the true performance difference in games between Zen 2 and Zen 3 is between 20 and 50% and that blows his narrative out of the water.
