I imagine arcade games are just about the only kind of software that requires lots of processing power, and even that is not CPU but GPU power.
I don't do games, so this featureset is irrelevant to me.
Having enough core memory and high-speed connectivity are much more important than graphics throughput.
Unfortunately, the way the web has moved in the past 10 years or so, you need a LOT of processing power just to render basic websites. The browsing experience is the only reason I have swapped my N900 for a Jolla as my daily, even though the N900 is far superior in every other aspect except the CPU power.
