The i5 is $100+ more than the 6300, and the i7 is $100+ more than 8350. (Haswell/Ivy i5 and i7) You shouldn't be comparing the 8350 to the i7. The 8350 is an equal price to the i5, and your statement proves that you agree that the 8350 is better $200 CPU!
6. AMD's $200 CPU, the FX-8350, beats Intel's $200 CPU, the i5. At the same price of $200, the FX-8350 > i5. So, if you have a $200 CPU budget, you should buy a 8350.
You are kidding, right. Such a blanket statement is totally inaccurate.
It totally depends on the workload which is better at the 200.00 price point. For gaming and general use, I would definitely go with the i5. For heavy multi-threaded productivity, the FX is a better choice at this price point.
