Those games are not that heavy (hard on the hardware) to run (the CoH test is ed up). AMD will not show advantages before Intel L2 cache isn't that advantageous (more demanding threads, more memory will decrease that advantage) able to use its large cache or communication with other hardware is increased. It is impossible to see that just viewing the numbers legion shows.
What that test showed at legion was pretty much the difference L2 (size and speed) cache is doing for whatever run the test was done for. More conclusion apart from that is hard to make. Deneb that will have 6 MB L3 cache will gain some, if the latency is decreased it will gain some more in average FPS.
What was most interesting (just knowing the average FPS) in the legion test was that you will get the same game experience with cheap X2 compared to one expensive C2Q using 4870X2 running those games.
