Why does anyone buy a processor with overclocking capabilities and then conduct tests, leaving it at default settings? The difference in higher resolutions is so minimal that even a slight overclock will equalize or alter the result. Additionally, nobody tests these processors in VR games where the processor is often a bottleneck for the GPU. Another thing, the games most players engage in are almost always designed for a low number of cores, usually 1-2, with the rest having low utilization. Core speed is still much more critical than their quantity. The ideal setup would be to have a large cache, fewer cores, and a high frequency, at least 5.5 GHz, but unfortunately, it's not possible.
