Which of these AMD processors performs well in gaming? I've read that the 8350 produces more heat compared to the 8320. If so, how much more?

Ahm, they are basically the same CPU, the 8350 is slightly higher binned. You can OC the 8320 to the 8350s clockspeed [-> Heatdifference].

 

If you have the budget, go for a 8350 as you can potentially get a better overclock out of it.

 

If you plan for a normal oc [4.2-4.5ish] both will be about equal and make no difference in gaming. Go with what you feel is the right one for you.

The 8350 is simply a better cpu. However, the difference between the two in current games is barely noticeable.
