I did not mean to come off as confrontational. If I did, I apologize. I am also focused on the data and some of your comments showed you had not read some of my disclaimers/data. That is still apparent.
The i7 5930k vs difference for non-MLL games is meant to represent that decreasing the CPU bottleneck further will not result in any significant games. Better WinRAR performance, or in my case 7-Zip, will not yield significantly better gaming performance, as my charts above show.
Metro Last Light has issues. A lot of them. I deliberately avoided using MLL from gamersnexus's charts due to the following reasons:
How Windows 7 responds to it is different than Windows 10, which shows substantial, honestly, astonishing, improvements over Windows 7 in that specific game. I tried to minimize the factors in play, so that meant sticking to the Win10 1703 benchmarks. How FX responds to it is different than Ryzen since MLL does not handle SMT well (default settings) and I did not test Intel's Hyperthreading or do extensive testing with SMT disabled. The scaling, while both being unoptimized and oddly CPU centric as far as minimums are concerned relative to the other games, hurts average frames rates (as it should) making averages also incomparable. Minimums, while related to, are not actually directly comparable to 1% lows,or 0.1% lows. The minimums, 1% lows, and 0.1% lows do not show the stuttering mess that is MLL due to how MLL calculates. There are times when a Ryzen SMT enabled system on Win 7 gets <2FPS. The entire screen just stutters for half a second or more.
The MLL numbers are completely incomparable, mostly due to issues related specifically to MLL, Ryzen and how Windows 7 and Windows 10 interact with that specific game.
Ryzen is incomparable, and the minimums are incomparable and that MLL does factor in minimums into it's averages so Win7 vs 10 is incomparable.
But...I did actually do Windows 7 benchmarks for the game and the Averages are still comparable directly, as long as the OS doesn't change. Want to guess what they turned out to be in Win 7?
The 8350 @ 4.0 Ghz, in Win 7, shows that same GPU bottleneck for averages with a 1050 Ti that a $600 Intel i7 5930k does. 58.80 FPS vs gamernexus's 55 FPS. ~4 FPS difference, within margin of error for different test beds, not "double the performance." My Win 7 vs Win 10 chart list show this, except for in MLL, due to a lot of specifics related to Metro Last Light. Except for MLL, Win 7 does not perform better or worse than Win 10 with a 1050 Ti in other games, meaning combining data with gamersnexus on the Shadow of Mordor scaling works because the tests are comparable overall.
Does this mean an FX 8350 a better CPU for gaming than a $600 i7 5930k? No. What it shows is a GPU bottleneck and that increasing the GPU, as stated in gamernexus's GPU scaling chart for that game will net larger performance gains, by several factors, than a CPU upgrade.
