Unless the FX-8370 is a larger upgrade over the FX-8350 than Piledriver was over Bulldozer, the i5-4690K will still be much faster.

I'd go i5, their cores have always been stronger

The 8370 is not likely to be better than the 8350 in terms of performance only metrics.

For your tasks the i5 will perform better. The AMD chips you have mentioned can keep up with i5 in some cases, however overall the i5 will perform better more consistently.

what about the pentium 4 and athlon 64 era, when a 2GHz amd cpu beat a 3.8ghz intel cpu?
Anyways for single core tasks go for the i5.
