Which on its own doesn't remotely close the gap with Intel, however for a highly competitive price it could become a new option. Right now an i3 is better than AMD's entire lineup so Zen needs to be flawless for AMD to recover
Really?
I have an FX 8350 and it feels more on par with an mid range i5. I don't know that i3 tears the FX chip apart so easily, at the very least a high end i3 is on par with FX 8350. I am not extremely knowledgeable of processors but that seems to be my experience. The only game I can't not run on my FX 8350 through emulation or otherwise is Star Wars Rogue Squadron running on dolphin, that is embarrassing.
