I kicked intel to the curb, I'm a Ryzen boi now.

14.73% of polled Steam users have a 720P class panel.
That is widespread enough that it matters, that is more than 4k or 1440P users to put things into perspective.

14.73% against 90~ million monthly active users is 12.6~ million monthly users with a 720P~ class panel, that's not insignificant.

Again, 720p =/= ~720p 'class' ... 

Ironic how you're claiming I'm the one shifting goal posts ...

Exactly my damn point. - But it takes awhile for steam statistics to represent change in hardware, people don't throw away their old PC because a new GPU got released you know.

Take a look at the GPU page, there are users still running Radeon 7800~ class GPU's.

@Bold AFAIC, Steam statistics only lag the market by about 5 years maximum so it's fairly representative of the HW being sold in the market ... 

HD 7800 series only represent 0.3% of all steam users ...

Well no. I don't have to do a thing.
Newegg already represented a large amount of 720P panels still being sold. And that is just today.

The fact that portable systems also get bundled with 720P panels doesn't negate that and would also still be a demographic who might be interested in 720P benchmarks anyway, making your argument redundant.

Yes you absolutely do because 720p CPU benchmarks are irrelevant in the high-end desktop space ... 

If I am to extrapolate the % of desktop steam users by the # monitors sold on newegg with that specific resolution then 768p would probably account for no more than 1% of all desktop steam users and the rest would probably be portable/laptop users ...

Are you paying attention? CPU. Not GPU. Some games are going to be more CPU limited than others, especially strategy titles.

You still aren't paying attention to the benchmarks ... 

I have yet to see a case where Intel's CPU gaming performance is actually an advantage for low-end/portable gaming systems and even in strategy games like you say ... 

In modern strategy games such as Ashes or Civ VI, Ryzen with Vega graphics are still running circles around pure Intel parts ...

Almost 15% of the Steam userbase.

With the vast majority of them being on portable systems like laptops ...

Who really cares about CPU performance at that point when just about any modern quad core is good enough ?

Doesn't matter how many people there are, it is still useful to some, don't go shifting the goal post.

Don't go creating a straw man ...
