Anecdote =/= representative sample ....
As far as Steam is concerned, 720p doesn't exist to them ...

Integrated graphics is entirely relevant. If you are running say... A Ryzen APU with 11 Vega CU's, you are not gaming at 1080P. You are gaming at 720P which these benchmarks tend to represent and the CPU can quickly become the limiting factor. - Many people also happily buy an APU for gaming purposes with the intention of dropping in a discreet GPU at a later date. 720P benchmarking is meant to place an emphasis on CPU performance discrepancies in the most extreme of scenarios, it is not going to be applicable to everyone, but they also hold some statistical value for others. |
@Bold Show me otherwise since all evidence points to AMD APUs having the highest gaming performance. Even Intel's best solution is using AMD's Vega M graphics ...
Those people who dropped in a discrete GPU with an APU obviously made the wrong choice since their build isn't optimal for high gaming performance ... (they make the intention of sacrificing their foundation for flexibility anyways)
720p isn't applicable for measuring CPU performance anymore since NO high-end gamers play at that resolution so reviewers should find something else better to benchmark because otherwise they may as well be pointlessly scraping the bottom of the barrel by testing with resolutions such as 480p or even 144p ...
720p could have relevance for low-end graphics performance but that's the end of it ...
