IME gamers are those who most likely are willing to shell out noticeably more money for something which they perceive may potentially improve their game performance. Statistically I’m pretty sure most of them aren’t too scientific about their assumptions. Hence the huge market for lots of HW which no normal person would buy, explicitly targeted at gamers. TLDR: reality doesn’t matter as long as the x CPUs are faster :)
