PP's talking about comparing gaming performance specifically across multiple CPU types not general gaming or system comparison.
And on that front, he's absolutely right. People get quad/hex core CPUs because they think it's going to help them game SO much faster, when in actuality there is little increase.
Take a look at the G860 vs an i5 2500.
2 vs 4 cores, 3MB vs 6MB cache, 3Ghz vs 3.3Ghz
Where the G860 will score 20FPS, the 2500 will score 31.5FPS
To be clear, we're getting 11.1 more FPS out of buying a $200+ CPU vs a $75 CPU.
