I Only have experience with Intel Processors, and was wondering if there is some kind of equivalency chart between AMD and Intel Processor Power. Is there?
Depends entirely on what apps you're running. For some perfectly multi-threaded apps, an FX-4300 is faster than an i3. But for many other games, an i3 can be significantly faster than even an FX-8350...I Only have experience with Intel Processors, and was wondering if there is some kind of equivalency chart between AMD and Intel Processor Power.

Hold on a sec. You got 50% more fps by upgrading from 8120 to 8350? They are practically the same chip. I'm surprised you could see that much of a gain, unless we are talking an improvement from 10 fps to 15 fps.Yeah, if you had to go with AMD, it wouldn't matter a whole bunch. It looks like Intel gets better performance over all, but I got stuck with a FX-8350 that is working pretty well. I upgraded from an FX-8120, with the same 780gtx card, and got almost 50% more fps out of it. As far as overclocking, I haven't tried it yet. But when games are running at max capacity and well over 32 fps, it really doesn't matter...
I prefer Sony to Cannon, better quality sensors for point and shooting.
Speaking of shooting...
:whiste: (Just kiddin' around!)
Seriously - "which is better" is going to depend on what you do and how much you're willing to spend.
Intel has faster single-threaded performance
AMD is often better performance per dollar
Intel gets certain extra support from the business sector
AMD often uses more electricity
...it all depend on your needs, special factors, and budget.
