Here's FX-8350 vs i7 3770K with 2x HD 7970s. i5 is identical to i7 in most games.

But how many people can afford one 7970 let alone two for Crossfire. Whilst I'd agree there is a deficiency in high-end multi GPU gaming performance few users will opt for such an expensive setup.
I think the broader message buildzoid was trying to convey was the similarities in gaming performance between the FX 4300, 6300, 8350 and 8320 which is sort of true.

This part I'm in disagreement with. Gaming no. Everything else maybe.
