intel has the newer technologies , but it's not worth the money if your only purpose is gaming . from what i understand intel is more suited towards the desktop and server tasks than gaming ! you can unZip or unRar a file quicker with intel but what's the use ?! if you buy intel you can get dd4 and pci e 3 but they are not great improvements either . with AMD you can get to spend less on your cpu / motherboard and save up more for an nVidia card if you are an intel fan.
Pretty much everything you said is incorrect. AMD FX processors require more expensive motherboards because AMD FX processors require a ton of power. A FX-8350 + motherboard that doesn't actually throttle due to weak VRMs costs close to an i5-6400 + H110 motherboard.
In most games an i3-6100 beats out a FX-8350. An i5-6400 beats out the FX-8350 in almost everything. In fact, the one category where the FX-8350 excels in is WinRAR and 7zip.
Finally, @OP, I'm not sure why you keep down voting anyone that gives you the reason why AMD processors are a poor choice at the moment (Zen might change things). Also, where did you come up with $150 for an i3-6100? It costs $110 right now.
