I have never seen a serious benchmark that exlcudes 1080p when it is testing the CPU.
65% of all steam users use 1080p, so that’s the standard resolution. Only 16% use 1440p.
You only go to 1440p or “4k” if you want to test which GPU delivers best performance as that’s the usual bottleneck. But in games you always must use 1080p as basis to see which CPU is more consistent. In your benchmark, the limiting factor is the GPU that’s why the cpus are almost same performance but AMD costs way less money. 1440p is far from being mainstream you were just too lazy to test both resolutions.
You barely see any difference in performance in 1440p. Do you honestly believe that you would see a difference in 1080p, which demands even less from both the CPU and GPU? Before accusing us of laziness, did you spend a couple of minutes to do some thinking? We should have tested in 4K too, not in 1080p, to maybe see a higher difference between the two processors. However, when we worked this article, we didn’t have the appropriate hardware for 4K testing.
