Games have been GPU-bound for years and years. Even in 2011 when it came out, Skyrim used (at most) 30-40% of CPU power. Fallout 4 (updated version of the same engine) uses proportionally far less.
In short, no, gamers aren't buying new CPUs every 18 months like they used to, either. GPUs, maybe, but Intel's weak in the gaming GPU space.
