You said it yourself they didnt catch it SC, hence its not been caught, and SC performance is still king for gaming. Even on MC, an 8086k is a beast, I think people get carried away thinking just because a 16c chip is put on the market it immediately mans anything less needs replacing, that pure hardware addiction kicking in.
An 8086k clocked at 5.2 is going to least 4 years easily.
PS5 will probably be 8/16 chips clocked at around 2.4-3.4ghz with 1C or 2C not been used for games. Even then any PS5 games ported to PC will likely have a different threading model, e.g. FF13LR was multi threaded on PS3 and single threaded on PC.
So 40+ghz of cpu power on PC vs 18-21ghz on console.
