Most games don't use more than 8 threads and that's why single core performance is way more important than huge number of cores.
Jedi FO is in fact 4 thread game IIRC, it sits mostly on single core performance.
This CPU is just weak and CP wrecks CPUs with RT. Game can use many threads but there is no improvment above 8 I belive.
They have to test at least some configurations. Tell me from where you know they estimate the results?
Yes, but CPU itself is much weaker than Zen2 from desktop and devs have 7 cores and 14 threads available.
7/14.
Most games ends scaling above 8 threads. There are exceptions (and there will be more in the future of course) like SotTR.
Most CPU outlets only test handful of games over and over again, this site tests almost all new games:
"No wait edition", motherfucker.

Most games behave like this. You need stronger cores more than more cores for games mostly. And this won't change anytime soon.
