If games fully use 8-Core i can see 8350 edge out even Intel 6-Core CPUs which is sad. 4770K is not going to cut it. We have had 4- Core CPUs long enough now. Really 3770K should have been 6-Core by now @ $300. AMD has to stop Intel more to wake them up.

Depends, HT is less efficient than CMT as proven by an FX-8350 matching an i7 3770k in tasks that can use HT or CMT well.
