| Kantor said: Intel really do dominate the top end, though. Everyone at the top of the leaderboard is running an i7. |
Everyone at the top-end is running socket 2011 6-cores, 12 threaded processors. :P I doubt you want to be dropping down $1,000+ to make that kind of switch, 3D Mark loves cores, especially in the Physics tests.
You would be surprised how many people are willing to drop thousands onto their PC just to get a better 3D Mark score, heck people do suicide runs with exotic cooling (Think: Nitrogen) and stupidly high voltages, the PC would only live long enough to do the benchmark run.
Sure, Intel dominates AMD in 3D Mark, but that's not to say an AMD FX 8320 is not going to be able to play games, far from it.
If you also run a dirty system (With like over 9000 programs booting up with Windows) or run Xsplit whilst gaming, AMD FX 8320 is a very solid choice anyway.
