never said the 8350 beats the i5, just threw them at the same level. Also there is no mention of gaming, so rare cpu power wise my ranking would be true. also the number of games that take advantage out of 4 threads or more becomes bigger, the fx6300 winns against the i3 like you showed us with the crysis 3 benches
gaming: (sadly without fx8350 benches): http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/piledriver-k10-cpu-overclocking,3584-19.html
productive: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/piledriver-k10-cpu-overclocking,3584-20.html

also, a oced fx6300 comes close to an i5 in gaming performance at the i3 pricepoint.

I wouldn't say that Intel CPUs are designed for games. Rather their high IPC compared to AMD's IPC allows Intel CPUs to generally outperform AMD CPUs in most games. The vast majority of games in general that are released every year only use 2 cores. A few modern games use only one core.

The following benchmark is from the link you posted from.

However, different settings or perhaps different maps / levels can provide different results. Note how poorly the i3-3220 performs in the following benchmark with medium quality graphics using a GTX 680. In the THG benchmark the FX-8350 only performs about 19% better than the i3-3220. However, Techspot's benchmark shows slightly more than a 69% performance difference in the FX-8350's favor.

No it does not. i3 doesn't beat an FX 6350, much less an 8350.
