"When it comes to performance per dollar AMD’s FX chips look like a clear winner.” – Thomas Ryan, SemiAccurate
“The overall performance scatter offers some good news for AMD fans: the FX-8350 outperforms both the Core i5-3470 and the 3570K in our nicely multithreaded test suite. As a result, the FX-8350 will give you more performance for your dollar than the Core i5-3570K, and it at least rivals our value favorite from Intel, the Core i5-3470.” – Scott Wasson, The Tech Report
