For gaming? I would say 5 years, because they are developing API to the games use all cores a CPU have. So, let's say a game uses 80% of two cores and the Core i5-4690k has 4 cores. It means it is using 40% of the total power processing. The CPU stiill has a gap of 60% for another tasks (other applications will use this gap), but the game has only a gap of 20%, because he can only use two cores.
A game like Crysis 3 would use 100% of two cores and still need more power, but the game doesn't know how to use the other two cores left. It means your CPU works like a two core CPU, now matter if it has 4 cores or 8 cores like a i7.
Now, with this API, Crysis would use 30% of each four cores, it is 30% of the total CPU power processing and the...

Now, with this API, Crysis would use 30% of each four cores, it is 30% of the total CPU power processing and the game has a gap of 70% for power processing. It is a lot of power left. Imagine we take another 5 years to create a game that requires three times more than the Crysis 3.
