Hrm, good point, I didn't think of that.
Then the large bulk of the performance increase is likely due to:
A- Only some games making good use of the AVX extensions
B- Haswell's inherent architectural changes
C- The Pentium being able to 100% speed most games anyways and it struggles on the same games even a 4790K struggles on so the difference doesnt really matter.
I'm guessing it's probably C.
