Who is Ian Cuttress, and why should I watch a 1 hour video on the subject? Does this bring any new facts or perspectives to the table, besides what we already know

He is a pretty respected and known (former)reviewer in the tech industry. Used to be a writer for anandtech for many years, and now does some kine of consulting for tech companies. But most importantly, he personally knows, and as far as i know is respected, by both ltt and gamersnexus.

He was formerly at Anandtech, I think.

And that means he has interesting things to say?

Well, he knows tech media, and he's generally regarded as a competent tech journalist 🤷‍♂️

His deep dives on new chips used the be the highlight of my month when he was writing for them. I haven't seen anything approaching the level of thoroughness he displays anywhere else. He also has either his master's or a PhD in electrical engineering, so he may know a thing or two.

Edit: it's a PhD.
