Lets put the FX 8-core to the side for 5mins.
I'm looking at Tomshardware. They did a review on the 4-core FX vs the i3 3220. (ignore the i5 3350)
The FX 4 core crushes the i3 in almost everything or performs virtually the same.
Even in gaming aside aside (skyrim) the performance was virtually the same.
Anyone whom has to make a choice between the two.

Perhaps. But some eco hippies will always argue the power front. But you can always lower the volts on these chips. Remember its still a four core so power draw will always be worst.
