I can't see a difference between an AMD FX-6100 and a Intel i5-6500 (Framerate)

I recently bought a new CPU (Intel i5-6500) because it had better a performance on all websites, but now that I have it I can't see a difference.

I play Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and with both CPU's (with the same Graphics Card (GTX 970)) I get around 90(lowest)-170(highest) fps

PC Specs:
OS- Windows 10 Home 64-bit
CPU- AMD FX-6100 (3.3GHz, 6-Core Processor, Water Cooled)
- Replacement: Intel Core Skylake i5-6500 (3.2 GHz, 4-Core Processor, Air Cooled)
MB- Asus H170M-E D3
GPU- EVGA Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 Superclocked (4Gb)

I wondered if I haven't set it up right.

edit: Also ever since I got this new CPU it takes a while to load Google Chrome, as if it crashed or something.

You don't get better framerate with a more powerful CPU, except if your CPU are bottle-necking your videocard.
For CS:GO you need a really old CPU to bottle-neck it.

the i5 6500 is better in every aspect to the FX-6100
-lower power consumption
-much higher performance
-has integrated graphics

that said, it makes almost no difference in gaming.
Games performance is all about your GPU, your CPU only need to be fast enough to let the GPU unleash its full potential.

A faster CPU would give you better performance in every task your computer is handling, except real time rendering (gaming), that's all your GPU job,
