I just think it's dumb to use 720p or 1080p benchmarks for high fps results, just to show a difference between the processors. That resolution only seems relevant to gaming titles used in the competitive scene.

If the story ends up being "if you game at 1440p or higher, there's no advantage to these new and expensive CPUs over last gen", then maybe that's the advice that reviewers should give.

Go buy a much cheaper 'old' CPU bundled with RAM+mobo at a discount, and put aside the savings to pay Nvidia

CPUs have always been reviewed at lower resolutions because people want to know how much headroom they have to not be bottlenecked by it in the future. Just because two CPUs give you the same FPS at 1440p or 4k now, doesn't mean that'll be true when you buy a new GPU next year.

Do you have a single fact to back that up?
