Is the i3 4130/Haswell really blowing away the FX4300/6300 and even the 8350??

Pretty much whats been stated xD, I was thinking of getting a more budget Intel build... i3 4130 and a MSI Z87 board etc, not sure? It seems the 4130 is just ridiculous performance and price wise.

The i3 is better in a lot of games, but of course there will be times when the i3 gets killed. I no longer recommend any FX though. They are getting outdated fast.

And while it doesn't directly compare the 6300/8350, being up to par with the 4690k in certain games is definitely impressive. I mean, it isn't a new i3, but it's the new Pentium.
