(Video) The i5 is Dead...Long Live the i5?

I haven't seen the video but Nvidia do have a limited long term life span.
More biased garbage from AdoredTV, makes video specifically about the i5, ends up fluffing up AMD for most of it, as expected
Also he should have shown more than AC:O as an "example" for recent games, because the 4C/4T i5 7600K still does better than Ryzens in the following recently launched games: Destiny 2, NFS: Payback, CoD WWII, Wolfenstein II. But I guess that's fake news and the only one that matters is AC:O, which is broiled in controversy over their several layers of DRM?
And isn't Wolfenstein II touted as an example of optimization by some group because the Vegas do really well in that game? Guess it's badly optimized now since the 4C/4T i5 7600K is on par with the 8C/16T R7 1800X there
Long live dual cores and DX11.
How so?
Another myth of Nvidia gimping older gpus....
Schrödinger's Nvidia, ""gimping"" their CPUs while actually improving performance with driver updates: https://www.computerbase.de/2017-01...chnitt_kepler_maxwell_und_pascal_im_benchmark
353.63 -> 376.33 Kepler gained 6%, Maxwell gained 5%
But wait, there's more: https://www.computerbase.de/2014-11/grafikkartentreiber-im-test/2/#abschnitt_benchmarks
320.49 -> 344.60 Nvidia GPUs (GTX 760) gained 22%
Catalyst 13.1 -> Catalyst 14.9.2 Beta AMD GPUs (R9 280) gained 13%
And an even older article showing pretty good gains for Nvidia cards with driver updates:

Nvidia have gimped performance in the past. The 280 card suffered performance drops. But again you missed the point.
On your part.
Nvidia will go down the pan first as a hardware firm. That's just how things have to go.
Depends on the price and what you expect from a chip. Being bottom of the list in a bar chart isn't a death sentence.
How so? while they've moved somewhat towards being a design company they are still heavily invested into hardware and have a significant march in R&D on their closest competitors and in many markets that even includes Intel, despite not always being a success story - but even failures can be a learning process and drive future successes.
Given their Q3 financial report, I also don't see how Nvidia is "going to go down as a hardware firm". Their Gaming revenue alone is on par with AMD's revenue for the entire company.
Data center/automotive are growing fast, but still far from what Gaming brings in for them.
