Just saying It may have been true a couple years ago, but not anymore. Thanks to the PS4/Xbox one, gaming (and computer software in general) is becoming more and more multithreaded, hence multicore CPU's like the FX 6300 stomp the i3. You also have to consider that this is the real world, not benchmarks. The user will have other things running on his computer. Skype, teamspeak, maybe an IRC client, some music playing, etc'. In these situations, the i3's dual core will be fighting to actually process the game itself, so you'll get horrible frame times. I've seen it with my own eyes. i3 is good in benchmarks, but they give you terrible overall experience.
I3 is still better at gaming, already been proven a hundred times over in recent youtube vids also, fact is Intel is so much richer than AMD they haven't really got a chance, the da,n pentium g3258 still beats fx 6300 in alot of games, the fx is just outdone by i3s when it comes to gaming.

Do I need to repeat myself? Benchmarks are not real world usage.
Not going by benhmarks, going by actual gaming performance, from HANDS ON experience. Also digital foundry will confirm, wanna argue with thrm aswell as u seem to have a hard on for fx 6300.

Im just letting u know i know from first hand real world testing, not benchmarks online. The fact that videos back this up just support the facts, but i have had both an fx 6300 and an i3 4130, and the i3 out did the fx in games without fail. Of course with same gpu.

Your reply is pretty spot on, the one thing i think we both left out is upgrade path, im sure you will agree intel is a better option for this, do if they went i3, they could upgrade to i5 or i7 in future as long as the motherboard doesnt die lol

I've always found the insistence that 'statistics are wrong and my views are right' to be a curious phenomenon.
The statistics back up my view, soooo i dont know what you are trying to say lol
