Comparing the FX 8350,20 and 6300's is not a big difference, and I'm not trying to make an argument, which is better Intel vs Amd, but rather, sticking with amd for my next gaming build.These cpu's shine better overclocked, but most people know that, so it's almost a mute point.. I game 60% of the time, and multi-task the other 40%.Check out the first you tube video.I found it very interesting.

If there is a point to this, it's that the FX-8350 can in fact compete and even beat (in some cases, demolish with a +40% margin) much more expensive Intel chips like the i7-3770k. It's able to do so in quite a wide range of different scenarios too.
But one thing that is indisputable, is that Intel chips have superior performance per core. How much varies by task, ranging anywhere from 10% to as much as 40% faster per core.
Most of what people read in forums are based on Intel being better at these benchmarks, run at low resolution on a rig with a GTX 690 GPU (to... isolate the CPU) :
Skyrim
Crysis 2
Metro 2033
Arkham City
DIRT 2
HAWX
Generally gaming is an Intel strong point - but not in all games.
Here's one set of reasons :
If you take a look at the below link (TweakTown), you'll see that these benchmarks don't show all that much difference. The reason? Because TweakTown uses a GTX 580. In other words, gaming stalls on the GPU on anything other than a top of the line GPU anyway :
