High CPU usage during gaming indicates excessive processing demands.

That's accurate. Regardless of receiving a brand new Gen 6 Intel processor from its sealed packaging, it remains an outdated CPU and will function similarly to older models.
it varies based on the resolution you're using.
but what could become a problem is having RAM that's only double, but Windows is taking up space between 4-6GB or more, depending on the software running in the background. Some games need more system memory than others.
at 1080p the CPU usually works a bit harder.
1440p is a mix of CPU and GPU performance.
when you reach 4K, it becomes more reliant on the GPU.
it really depends on the game.
Yes, newer CPUs that come out, do outperform older chips. Else-ways, there's no point to release new CPUs.
As far as actual use case goes, i haven't seen that my CPU is holding performance back. If anything, what i have, is still more than enough for my needs.
mem reduct may lead to blue screens and increased CPU consumption. Since the operating system already manages resources, adding another layer can strain the system, especially if the OS needs more VRAM and becomes overwhelmed. There are reports indicating it can also result in significant CPU usage.
This wording is quite poor. It's important to note that a game using all 8 cores doesn't automatically mean it's poorly optimized. If the CPU usage is similar but performance is significantly worse, then it's a concern. However, simply relying on core count isn't enough; you should check the actual FPS and compare it with other games.
