CPU bound for games does not mean the same thing than CPU bound for many other benchmarks. In a game, based on its type, it is being able to do all the required work required in less than a frame time without being bother by other tasks stealing the CPU cores from time to time (or significantly messing around the cache memory). 144Hz/72Hz means you must do all the work in less than 6/13ms. Nowdays, it means you ask the kernel to favor CPU cores from the same CCD...
