Benchmark is telling us something...

Buy a ps4 :p
That's the impression I'm getting since it old CPUs are going to struggle so much

Wouldn't the natural course be to just... upgrade whatever parts are struggling?

Replacing a cpu isn't something a lot of us could do
And it's not just any part..it's the cpu that stormblood is really asking a lot of

My cpu is 3 gens old and my benchmark scores are higher than some people with newer processors. Its people who had crappy low end cpus from years ago that are struggling

It also seems it's telling us no more DX9.

The graphics didn't get any better, why is the performance so bad?

I've already bought a PS4 but I'll not be surprised if the experience to become a community joke like the PS3 was.

I have a PS4 Pro and am ready :D

More stuff per scene.

Well my CPU is definitely very old now, but on the bright side hopefully middle of May I'll have a brand new computer <3

It looks like it has a lot more to do with the GPU. I'm seeing a lot of really high Benchmark scores coming through that have lower-end CPUs paired with halfway decent GPUs, and lower scores from excellent CPUs paired with lower-end GPUs (read: my benchmark). CPUs haven't generally been a performance throttle for a long while, and most people with an i3 or an i5 will be able to get a very high score if they just upgrade their GPU to something from the current generation (e.g. Nvidia GTX 1060 or Radeon RX 470 are both cost-effective ways to get a really high score).

Of course it's another problem entirely if you're on a laptop (like me). My piddly 5000~ score probably won't last for the entire expansion, so an upgrade is very likely in order. I'm just glad MacBooks hold their value.
