TL:DR :

SOC Mid_Back 2021: 71.7 -> WORSE
SOC Mid_Back 2020: 67.9    (*note: he mentions he reapplied the liquid metal, and did a better job than sony here) (so maybe real differnce is less)

Mem1 Top 2021: 74.8. -> BETTER
Mem1 Top 2020: 78.0

Mem4 Top 2021: 82.4. -> BETTER
Mem4 Top 2020: 86.3

Mem3 Bottom 2021: 87.4. ->WORSE
Mem3 Bottom 2020: 86.9

VRM MOSFET 2021: 67.4. -> BETTER
VRM MOSFET 2020: 73.0

You are using the data from the "frankenstein" tests where they mixed parts from multiple consoles. The stock tests are at 13:30 in the video.

The stock 2020 vs 2021 model results were this:

SOC Mid_Back 2021: 71.6 -> WORSE
SOC Mid_Back 2020: 66.5 

Mem1 Top 2021: 74.7 -> BETTER
Mem1 Top 2020: 77.6

Mem4 Top 2021: 82.3 -> BETTER
Mem4 Top 2020: 86.0

Mem3 Bottom 2021: 87.3 -> BETTER
Mem3 Bottom 2020: 88.4

Mem1 Bottom 2021: 77.6 -> BETTER
Mem1 Bottom 2020: 80.8

VRM MOSFET 2021: 67.3 -> BETTER
VRM MOSFET 2020: 69.0

71.6c on an APU isn't concerning, if it was then they would ramp up the fan speed to compensate but it isn't necessary. Both consoles perform the same, it doesn't matter which one you get.
