The point of the charts is that it is not really surprising that a 8350 @ 3.4 Ghz ($180) can keep up with a modern $120 video card (1050 Ti, 5,766 Passmark). Even modern dual-core like the g4560 ($70) could also shift the bottleneck to the GPU. The only CPU on that list that creates a CPU bottleneck is the 4850e from 2008, ($45). The only video card that can shift the bottleneck back to the CPU, assuming an 8350, is perhaps a 1070 or higher ($500, 11,023). It is unlikely a 1060 6GB can ($250, 8,717).
So when considering…say…GPU bound workloads like games, it does not make sense to upgrade one’s CPU. It really is necessary to spend 3x+ more monies on the GPU than CPU for the CPU to ever become a limiting factor. A 8350 at 4.0 Ghz+ ($180) probably pairs well with a GTX 1070 (assuming $350). That said, there are some cavets related to OS version and specific games.
