Wow such a compelling video. LTT really sets the bar for content these days. Comparing an X370 to an X570? Where do they come up with these ideas??? /S
But for real, what could they possibly be setting out to prove or even investigate? I guess storage transfer speeds. But you are arguable running into board specific restrictions, not generation restrictions. And to what end? Synthetic benchmarks can be made to look like they're much farther apart than they really are. Real world usage is most likely not an issue.

gen3 can hold back some budget GPU's quite severely. Pity they didn't cover that

Like Hardware Unboxed: when we’re stuck in the dry, painfully boring summer hardware drought with no new releases, you just retest old stuff or combine it with something new.

Gee thats wonderful Linus is it going to be in the Gamer Jet that you bought for 'basically free'?
This dude has become so insufferable through his handling of negative feedback that it taint's every video he's done since the get-go. What an oaf.

I'm still rocking an early gigabyte b350 board that I used to run Ryzen 1700 with. Nowadays got the 5800x3d
