The OC'd 8350 (at like 4.4-4.6Ghz) will most likely beat the I7 at stock in most categories except single core performance which matters less and less. I get a passmark CPU bench of over 10,000 on my 8350 at 4.4Ghz, which is higher than the vast majority of I7's in OVERALL performance. Games will probably still be 3-5% higher FPS on the I7's though, depending on the GPU of course.
