Lubuntu is taking a new direction
I'm not a huge gamer anymore but...isn't the main bottleneck for running AAA gaming at high settings the GPU?

Generally yes, although there are certain games that an old CPU would definitely choke on. It’s a bit disingenuous to say the upgrade cycle is dead and then to spend more money on upgrading the GPU than the total value of everything else combined.

It can be the CPU. But since four cores is the best everybody has, games don't push that.
