In addition, Level1Techs is more developer/sysadmin oriented than consumer oriented : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4w1YQAJMWOz4qtxinq55LQ
And in addition to that, we have Open benchmarking and Phoronix for that. :)
Likewise (I 2nd L1Techs btw). Having 16 cores/ 32 threads will greatly aid testing server applications. Making multi-threading & locking issues much more apparent (Amdahl's law) than they would on a slightly older CPU with only 4-6 cores (a i7 6700k in my case).

Normally we at AnandTech run a Chrome compile benchmark, but for whatever reason it wasn't running properly on Win 10 1909. When I get a chance to debug (55k miles of travel over the next four weeks), I'm going to see if I can fix it and expand that bit of our testing.
"Failed to compile Chrome" is a pretty huge caveat in which, I guess, your readers might take an interest.
Chrome has its own Windows builders as well on each platform.
