Intel's Mid/Low-end processors are faster than AMD's high-end.
I would take an Intel Dual-Core over an AMD Quad-Core.
However, GPU's outstripped CPU's long long long long ago in terms of yearly performance increases, there seems to be a massive focus in reducing gaming CPU loads via Mantle, Direct X 12 and OpenGL improvements going forward.
The irony of it all though is that the 4 year old Phenom 2 x6 1090T is faster than the FX 6300 at the same clock, that's for sale today.
I have an FX 8320 in a second machine, I'm aware of how poor the FX chips really are, but with that in mind it does offer "Good enough" performance for most people and because they are heavily threaded they start to hold their own when running a heavily threaded game and say.. Xsplit in tandem, they just don't receive the same performance penalty.
