depends on who you ask. fanboi's, paid sites by companies, will all slant the direction of benchmarks.

Here it's faster,

Here it's slower to the 3570k (same thing)

In single threaded applications: No, the i5 is better.

In multi-threaded applications: Yes, the 8350 is better (the only thing better is a Hyperthreaded i7).

Games will become more multi-threaded as the new console generation kicks off, so if you're looking for a gaming CPU, right now the 8350 will do you more good in the long run.

are games more commonly multithread or single thread?

Right now, games are more single threaded, in the future, they will become more multi-threaded.

As far as gaming is concerned, the 4750K will be equal or better than the 8350. Even in the newest games that take advantage of all cores the 8350 only matches i5 performance.

However, the 8350 is typically a little cheaper which can sometimes make it a decent value option. It all depends on what games you are looking to play.

My advice would be to get the Intel chip for maximum performance if price isn't a big deal.

Same, my new 8320@4.56ghz is rocking anything I throw at it from my 3d fractal rendering to games. On bf3 at ultra, I'm like 50% cpu usage across cores. My video card maxes out way before it ever will.

My choice was based on the fact too that in Canada, AMD vs Intel prices are way different. I look at pcparkpicker, like $20 diff between i5-3570k and 8350. In Canada, it's a way bigger difference, like $70 and the 8320 was almost $100 cheaper than an i5, so that was a big factor in my choice too.

As someone who owns the CPU is there anything you recommend me do for max efficiency?
Is there any manual ways to get use of all 8 cores?

No, programs will just use it if they request the max core count, etc. Most do, and more and more is becoming max-core usage on its own.
