OMG what does my profile has to do with all this?
It shows your bias and my linked bench confirms that you're wrong. Even Ryzen 3 comfortably stays above 60 fps in the vast majority of titles, and it runs lower clocks than a Ryzen 5, while also being just 4c. At the same time this bench clearly shows why the 8600k and 8700k are filling the niche for high refresh rate gaming.
You need to open your eyes. Extra performance only matters if you can utilize it.
Also, here's why I say it matters ZERO when you are at 1440p or higher - and do note, Hitman 2016 is a DX12, well threaded game that keeps scaling in performance if you have it.
EDIT: yes, as to your comment below here; you just confirm what I am saying. This topic is about choosing between Ryzen and a 8700k, the question at hand was NEVER 'what is the fastest CPU one can buy'. 150 FPS is high refresh rate, yes? OK THANKS. Your 'zone' is irrelevant to this discussion.
Oh yes, here is the kicker: OP Has a
GTX 1070.
