It only really matters is you are aiming for the highest possible FPS so you need a high Hz monitor and strong gpu to see the difference. Also the higher the resolution the smaller the difference.
Best to google benchmarks of the 8700k, nearly always they compare to Ryzen. You will get more details from reviews.

Whatever little FPS gain you get in gaming is negligible to the facts that AMD Ryzen's are higher performance, better multi-taskers, better ROI and cost-effectiveness, upgrade path to Zen2 next year.
Besides with the on-set of RT with Nvidia and other existing advanced GPU features like Asynchronous Compute and HSA with the Radeon, once developers start leveraging multi-core CPUs to their fullest, AMD would be a clear winner.
A faster single-threaded CPU is merely a sad patch fix to the actual root-cause of inefficient programming of DX12 titles and the CPU-GPU bottleneck which is solved by AMD's HSA and Asynchronous compute.

I think you're looking at it from the wrong angle. You know what your needs are, gaming at 1440p 144hz. So then you plan a build for that using AMD, and one using Intel. Then see which one costs less. That's the one you build.
How much faster or slower one CPU is over another is irrelevant. If you can build the system you need with an AMD CPU for less, why would you care if the equivalent Intel CPU was X% faster? What difference does that make?
