I run Kerbal and Dwarf Fotress on an 11 year old Xeon, as well as every other modern game with a 1070 at 2560x1600. All the eye candy on. I'm not suggesting running a decade old CPU, but it's completely silly for this presentation to be pumping expensive CPUs for 1080p gaming benefits.

The reason why they ran the benchmarks at 1080p is because they want to ensure they are not GPU bound.

I don't disagree with you but I think this AMD video focused on closing the gap with Intel's single-core performance -- and many games are still single-core.
