Problem was that even for multithreaded workloads the "8 core" FX-8150 did not always win against 4 hyperthreaded Intel cores. That is pretty apparent from e.g.

Problem was that even for multithreaded workloads the "8 core" FX-8150 did not always win against 4 hyperthreaded Intel cores. That is pretty apparent from e.g. the benchmarks here: https://www.phoronix.com/review/intel_corei7_3770k https://www.phoronix.com/review/intel_corei7_3770k You can easily see the multithreaded workloads there because you have the six core 3960X as comparison too.
