I agree and I also think the timing of it's release helped as well. It came out about a year before the new Xbox and Playstation consoles were released and which were both using AMD silicon. So from a gaming perspective it was passable. It could run last gen console ports well and didn't struggle much with next gen. I had a FX-8320E that was used almost exclusively for gaming and it was fine.

It was fine because both consoles have underpowered CPU (but 8 cores) for manufacturing reason, so PC gaming also don't need strong CPU

I'm assuming you're talking about PS4 and Xbox One. If so, they used a much simpler and lower-power architecture than Bulldozer that was initially intended for netbooks and tablets. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaguar_(microarchitecture) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaguar_(microarchitecture)
