I'm gonna tag along your question and ask this: for Intel mobos, is there the same differentiation (CPU handled ports vs MOBO handled ports) in a setup which additional USB hubs are connected to the mobo through the appropriate pins?

I mean, would the native USB ports from the back of an Intel mobo be CPU handled, and USB ports from this additional USB hub (pin connected) be MOBO handled?

I can't see in your video something other connection sockets for a mouse/keyboard; still only USB or PS2.

he speaks correctly about the usb port for the mouse. This is great and really reduces the delay completely bypassing the chipset and providing a direct connection between the mouse and the processor (one can only dream of such a thing on Intel), but he did not take into account the fact that all these features are useless if you have a bus between cores and constant jitter on a mouse with a delta of 990hz -1010hz (the minimum I've been able to cut is 995hz-1005hz) with any nvidia gpu, which makes gameplay on a 360hz monitor feel like 144hz, but with incredible responsiveness.

FYI, all USB ports on Intel go through the Chipset. If you have an 11th gen intel CPU or newer, the primary M.2 slot is connected directly to the CPU. You can use a USB to M.2 adapter in that slot to bypass the chipset. I'm using this one.

Yes

Check this video to see how you can verify which port goes directly to the cpu: https://youtu.be/3fX1157Mm7k
