Unlike certain fanboys on this forum I don't sit around bench marking my computer to see a graph. My friend has a 4790 and we've both used each others computers in common everyday tasks and in gaming and we both can't see any difference at all between my stock 8350 and his stock 4790 period.
I thought the FX line up did pretty well in VM benchmarks I've seen. I'm not someone who has 15 virtual machines going at once under load, so I didn't pay a ton of attention. But from what I remember, I thought AMD's FX CPU's were pretty solid performers there... maybe not?

Even with the hot fix for Win 7, FX(more precisely CMT) is working much better in Win 8 and 8.1.

Let's see some benchmarks on win 7 vs win 8 then, not hearsay. The only data I could find on quick examination was an old article from Tom's hardware using an 8150 which showed minimal gains moving from win 7 to win 8.
