Are there videos or just more details on what parts of the games are used in the CPU, GPU, and game benchmarks?

It would be very helpful to know what's happening in each game's benchmark sequence and if it's a different sequence for CPU and GPU testing. In BG3, for instance, if the test sequence is walking around the abandoned village in Act 1, that's going to be much less demanding on the CPU than walking around Baldur's Gate in Act 3, or much less GPU demanding than having Gale drop a bunch of spells in a fight. Or Elden Ring, even though it's lightweight, would presumably have different performance walking around Limgrave slapping some soldiers than fighting Bayle or Astel.

If there is footage of the test sequence, I think it would be very helpful to put a link to it in the reviews. It doesn't need to be the footage of that specific CPU or GPU being reviewed, just some footage to show the sequence. I know in game performance reviews, the review usually notes something like "we did this in a forest area and saw a bit of a performance dip going into the town," but it would still be helpful to see what part of the game it is, and again, it doesn't need to be the video of every CPU or GPU being tested, just one video to show the sequence.
