Is it bad I wish I got an FX 8320? :O

No, it's not. It's the case with 4690K vs. 5960X. Not the case with 8320 vs 4690K. 8 weak cores don't beat 4 strong ones. That TekSyndicate video, again, is horrible.

The tek syndicate video, shows a very specific scenario. Xplit + gaming. In this case FX has a huge edge over a 3570K.

Also 8 weak cores CAN and do beat 4 strong cores (this is a very general claim). ie: 7zip performance is a LOT better in FX than on any intel quadcore not hyperthreaded cpu at any given clockspeed. 

 

Is this enough to say fx is canonically better? ofc not! would anyone recommend a fx over an sandy/ivy/haswell i5 (performance wise) Hell no! It's just a particular scenario were things turn arround.

Wont be a lot faster in both though, Livestreaming shouldnt be a problem with the 4670k

 

It is faster in both. It's fact. Not better in balanced though. i5 is better for gaming and such.

Didnt say its not faster, it wont be a lot faster in rendering and in livestreaming depending on the games played it will only make a marginal difference. So not worth the "upgrade"
