That's because your white, in reality black knight Intel was the biggest obstacle to advance of game development in the last decade by milking with same old core count reached in 2006.I'm surprised that game development/GPU development hasn't yet mandated a CPU upgrade, though least my setup will last longer.
Intel kept even 4c/8t as very high end with normal high end being 4c/4t.
And then all those countless dual core market PC trashes...
But there are already games scaling well past quad core, like Assassin's Creed Odyssey:

And most big budget/AAA games under development are no doubt designed for eight cores, because of next-gen consoles.
