Synthetic benchmarks are not really a great way tom compare a cpu in all aspects of usage. Generally speaking the i5 will be slightly better at gaming (there are some titles the FX has a lead) and single threaded applications that will make use of the intel's better IPC (instructions per cycle, its how much work the CPU actually does per cycle) In terms of heavily threaded applications the FX wins hands down and most times finishes in the ranks of the i7's.
