4070 for sure.
7700x looks like it's a little slow on the uptake as well. It's obviously been out for two years longer, so that needs to be taken into consideration, but the 5800x has been run on 95,186 platforms.
Looks like AM5 is just lagging a bit, which isn't surprising considering it's a new platform.
7600x 4,842
7700x 10,993
7800x3d 12,784

Yeah with the price drops it's picking up quick for sure. Early on was too expensive to switch to a new platform but not the case anymore.

Linus has always been an annoying little shite so it's good to see him finally get some comeuppance.
Posted on 8/15/23 at 9:20 pm to MetroAtlantaGatorFan
He definitely took it poorly.
Posted on 8/15/23 at 9:25 pm to UltimateHog
Turns out he only offered to compensate Billet Labs after the first video went up.
Funny how Linus didn't wanna spend $500 to retest properly yet they've already lost at least 10x that in revenue from canceled Floatplane subs.

Just doing some skimming, seems like a big nothing burger and just content creators doing content creator drama
I haven't watched a benchmark specific video in a long time

Yeah, but Tech Jesus takes his benchmarks very serious. God forbid you get a cfm calculation wrong in a case test video.

It's definitely not a nothing burger. Linus is getting a lot of shite right now and deservedly so.

It’s more than just an issue with their benchmarks. They negligently handled a prototype gpu cooling component from a fledging start up and did a half assed and improper review of it and told millions of their subscribers that it was a terrible product, when by all accounts, they tested it on an incorrect GPU. The start up requested the prototype back months ago after they made their video and Linus’ team replied and said they would send it back, except they didn’t and auctioned it off instead
… there is more issues as well, but that is the one that stuck out the most. Their response was to play the victim and blame gamers nexus for not contacting them before going public so they could do damage control for their massive frick ups. They released a public apology video that also includes ads and sponsorships and is also YouTube monetized
, they are incredibly tone deaf at the moment.

If anyone wants to spend a few minutes eating popcorn, r/LTT has been burning to ash all day: LINK /

Brilliant move on their part, that video is probably going to rake in the views

Not brilliant at all. What little they make on that one video, they are going to lose many times over in lost floatplane subscriptions. Since this all hit the fan, LTT has lost about 2,500 subscribers and rising: LINK /
At $5/month per sub, LTT has lost about $12,500 in recurring monthly revenue, or over $150,000 per year.

They've lost at least 10k subs on Floatplane. That's $50k a month.
Posted on 8/16/23 at 9:44 pm to Joshjrn
I didn't know floatplane had even gotten that big
I remember being a sub on vessel way back when for a buck, but whenever it was bought out I never moved over
Edit: but there's no telling how much they make from their own sponsor plug from that video. This still just screams social media drama BS

May have started out that way (though the Billet thing was dirty), but now he’s dealing with a full blown hostile work environment/sexual harassment cluster frick. This meme covers it in a nutshell:
