You probably didn't read that old article, but here's an excerpt from it: "Games are thankfully getting better about utilizing more than two cores, and will certainly continue to improve in the future. However, benchmarks such as Anandtech Bench show that a fast dual core will dominate even relatively high-end chips that rely on lots of slow cores rather than a few fast cores. This is painfully obvious when comparing the $120 Core i3-2100 3.1GHz dual core to the $250 AMD FX-8150 3.6GHz octa-core. Despite having eight cores and a 500MHz clock speed advantage, the FX-8150 loses all of AnandTech's gaming benchmarks by a wide margin (except Starcraft II, where it eeks out a narrow victory). To be fair, the FX-8150 wins most other benchmarks...

the i5 is better but if you already have an AMD motherboard then just upgrade to an 8xxx
AMD just released a refresh of their 8 core CPU's and main thing is that they are more efficient with a lower TDP (95w vs 125w) and a bit faster. Get one of those if you can, it will work with the same mobos. They also recently massively slashed the prices of all their CPU's.

To be fair, the FX-8150 wins most other benchmarks handily, but it is not a gaming chip by any stretch of the imagination."

This may be of interest: http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/test-of-cpu-for-gaming-30-cpus-compared.200132/ The Intel Core i5-4460 is not that much faster than the AMD FX-8350 in games while the total system cost should be similar.
