It's not new, every game ever uses the intel compiler and was optimized for the most common CPU which would have been an intel CPU.Intel's new strategy is to work with game developers to give their CPU an artificial advantage,
They don't need any saving, they are very close to ryzen 3 performance and you can actually buy intel CPUs, by the time there are enough ryzen 3 out there rocket lake will have launched.Not sure how a few titles can save them.
That's only true for chess and other turn based strategy games, were the whole game stops at the end of the turn so there is no new data and you can make a thread for any possible moves the CPU can make and then compare the results.Exspecially game ai would benefit from more cores.
Intel's new strategy is to work with game developers to give their CPU an artificial advantage, likely similar to the deal they have for Marvel. Not sure how a few titles can save them. Moreover these titles aren't really very popular to begin with. Marvel Avengers is mainly because of the movies but that hype train came to a screeching halt.
