The supercomputers referred to run a restricted set of programmes over and over again. The performance figures referred to apply only to these specially tailored programmes which are suitable for parallelisation. Many software applications, including numerous physics applications, cannot be parallelised in this way. That many others can is neither here nor there -- CPUs don't struggle with modern games.
Reference to supercomputers is in any case of no relevance to a discussion about computer games.
