Why did they mention "gaming performance" (i.e., frame rate change which isn't always directly connected to CPU performance) and not absolute performance (across a range of benchmarks)? The latter is more meaningful.

The places where these CPUs outrun a similar priced CPU with standard cache design are niche, and specific games are one of the prime niches they do well in.
