Digital Foundry is the Performance Review Top Tier But....

End of the day, only so much data can be showcased in a Youtube video.
Digital Foundry did test at multiple resolutions so that criticism is moot.

A proper CPU gaming review will not just focus on average framerates either, but 95/99th percentile and with a variety of settings.

Only a website with appropriate graphical graphs can do that much data the necessary credit.

Which is what my point is.
No one buys a 2080ti or better GPU to run games at 720p.
So these tests that show which cpu is better (at 720p) dont serve any purpose.

Basically I think its mainly done to show Intel off, in a better light than their CPUs actually deserve.
Because in the real world, no one buys a 2080ti and games at 720p.
(its a marketing ploy, so you can say "best for gameing", and manipulate the degree to which it actually performs better at)

The purpose is to show which CPU has the absolute best performance in a worst-case scenario so that users can get the most bang-for-buck for their purchase.

And they succeeded at that.

Not all games will be forever GPU bound, in 10 years time those CPU's will be antiquated and the performance differences more important when paired up with a more modern GPU, yes even at higher resolutions.

Well if one CPU is half the price, doesn't need external cooler, mobo is cheaper and gives almost the same performance hen the best bang for buck is that CPU and it seems like this wasn't very clear on the review thus why OP is complaining.
