>i7 CPUs just aren't necessary for gaming, period
Unless you take the onboard gpu instead of a mad/nvidiot card

Well, they aren't.
Don't know what else to tell you, broseph.

/g/, the opinion capital of the universe
I don't know about that, on Arma 3 a 4790K gets like 10 to 15 FPS more than my 4690K with the same GPU, it really depends on the game.
take this /v/ shit to /v/, then proceed to kill yourself

Games need single thread performance so even i3 can be on par or even better than i7.

>paying this much attention to capitalization
aspergers is a bitch
there are games that play better on pentium g3258 than i5 4460 because of the single thread performance, it's due to fresh out of college hipster coders being too incompetent to thread their games properly

Only old games. Modern or properly updated games will take proper advantage or multiple cores or threads.
Even old as shit games like PlanetSide 2 that are based on DX9 have been updated to (better) support multiple cores and even release 64-bit clients to facilitate it.

Gamers get a dGPU
No need for intel integrated crapics
So it's Xeon.
i7 is for campers & shills

Unless it's a dx12 game, draw calls are not parallel. Good single thread performance is the most important characteristic, not just in games.
