some folks try very hard and often to get good scores on here.. and it aint that long ago people were saying four cores is all you need for gaming.. i could be wrong but i dont think much has changed..

Here's mine, no tryhard involved, just best out of three runs.

This bench is heavily CPU dependant, cores and clocks both have impact, and that is simply because this bench is too lightweight, the GPU is really just waiting around a lot.
Regardless, I see the same thing in games. Fast single thread CPU and sufficient cores are alpha and omega for gaming. That won't ever change. And while 4 cores is 'enough', once you get into 1080 or higher GPU territory, it will be the bottleneck, even if you run those cores at 5 Ghz. And then there is an increasing number of games that do really benefit from more than 4 cores/threads, and even scale up to 8. Games on Frostbite is one of them. You can look at this forum and the number of threads people make regarding their Ivy or Haswell i5 CPUs that have run out of juice for comfortable gaming, while the i7's are still doing alright.
