For games both companies have lots of CPUs that are on essentially the same level. The 1080p chart in that review is similar. Is that really stagnation in the gaming case or is it the old 'multithreading has its limits and IPC is hitting a wall' thing? It's sweet, sweet competition making everyone be quite competitive on pricing.So you assertion is that no one should bother buying anything higher than a 4c8t ~4.4ghz CPU because at 1440p over all benchmarked games it doesn't make any difference? Yeah let's just go back to 2015 and let Intel continue stagnating the CPU market since there's no benefit.
I think AMD getting past the Bulldozer trash and also pushing core count way up was all very smart and the only way to go. Intel responded as they do to AMD competition. Unfortunately their process problems are a thing and that probably makes it look worse than it would otherwise be over there. It seems like their 10nm plan was very aggressive and overly optimistic.
