Intel equivalent to AMD's FX-8320?

Solution
For gaming, the most comparable CPU to the FX-8320 in performance is the i3-4330.

Of course, there are a few random games where a Pentium beats the FX-8320, and a few random games where the FX-8320 beats a low-level i5. But those are outliers. Usually an FX-8320 will perform about the same as an i3-4330.
For gaming that is true. Maybe first generation i7s from 2009. The AMD chips do quite a bit better in things like video encoding.
 


Only at 5Ghz!

for gaming, which has variance, i3 or i5... but generally the i5. For specific tasks like rendering and video encoding and physics based operations (3d renders) the 8 core FX sits between the i5 an the i7, and often closer to the i7 than the i5.
 
probably the 4570 or the 4570k they are a little bit more expensive but they do run a lot cooler or you could go with the 4670 or 4670k but the 8350 is a very good budget cpu especially with its overclocking capabilities
 
Hey,

*It's not easy to compare if you're talking GAMING because games vary on how many CPU cores they can effectively use. For a game like BF4 you might see little CPU bottlenecking but for a game like SKYRIM you might see about 40% better performance using a modern Intel i5.

If it was comparing something basic like video converting with HANDBRAKE that would be very simple.
