The fx 83xx is weaker in single threaded applications compared to the i5. It has better multi-threaded performance. The i7 will completely outclass the fx 83xx in almost every aspect.
The FX 83xx does well in gaming sure, but the i5 does better. Please, do your research on this. In a game that will utilize the extra cores of the fx 83xx, it'll perform at par or better than the i5. The fx 83xx series was never designed to go against the i7. It was meant to compete with the i5.
Skyrim is a game that would do better with a stronger single threaded cpu, it doesn't mean it won't perform alright with the fx 83xx, but it'll perform better with a cpu with stronger single-threaded performance.

The i5 will always out perform the amd 83xx series.. The only game that amd has a little edge on is in bf4, the i5 is better for gaming, steady performance, the amd 83xx is for budget pcs if you have the money, get an i5 4th generation the amd 83xx isnt even in the same area code, thats the processor is use in my video editing PC
You sound just like an online website. Please stop providing your opinion about a processor you have no experience with. The i5 does not even have the resources to compete with the 8350. And your remark about being designed to compete with the i5 simply is NOT true. I don't know where you read that at. The 8 core was the "flagship" and consistently was measured against the flagship i7-3770k when released. Please stop regurgitating information that you only read online. Better yet, please provide some remarks from the latest "single core" application that you ran on your PC. What "single core" applications are you referring to? Or are you just stating what everyone else does?
When Bulldozer was released in 2011, there were not many games that did utilize multiple cores. However, every new game utilizes all of the resources of the CPU. Wolfenstein New Order uses ALL 8 cores, Max Payne 3 uses 4 to 6, Witcher 2 uses 3 to 4. How do I know this? Because I have a tri-monitor setup and I can clearly see processors being used while gaming. Please find an upcoming blockbuster, or one that was just released (i.e. Wolfenstein), and see what the recommended requirements. It will be at least a quad core CPU.
You all swear the i5 is like the greatest CPU ever. It is a mid range CPU offered by Intel. Don't believe me? Its in its model number: i3 low, i5 middle, i7 high. But if you feel better by convincing yourself that your quad-core, mid range i5 can match the 8350, then keep believing that. However, the reality is quite different.
