Interesting:

Looking at that the FX6300 is actually slightly better than a Phenom II X6 1100T in games tested.
The Phenom II X6 does have a 3.3GHZ base clockspeed and a 3.7GHZ clockspeed over three cores for lightly thread tasks. So the FX6300 does have a 10% clockspeed advantage for lightly threaded games and probably around the same in multi-threaded games.

That is really odd, the FX-6300 is faster than a Phenom II x6 and the higher clocked FX-8350 is slower http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/203?vs=697
They are both the same chip only the FX-6300 has one module locked.
Edit- it 5 AM and i'm half asleep, the FX8350 is faster, and faster than the x6 1100T, quite a bit faster.

when am using the 960t may games seems to load faster
Fritz or Cinebench have no bearing on game performance though. The FX6300 is consistently around Phenom II X6 1100T or Phenom II X4 980BE level performance or better at stock clockspeeds.
Overclocked they should be not far off each other,and a overclocked Phenom II X6 consumes much more power than a FX6300 and needs better cooling. The 960T starts at a 95W TDP base,simply unlocking it alone will edge up power consumption and TDP. Overclocking will further push it much higher,plus you got the issue with the temperature sensors in unlocked AMD CPUs.
Whether it makes much sense changing over an unlocked and overclocked Phenom II X4 960T is one thing,but that is a grossly modified CPU though and not everyone got lucky with a full unlock either.
One of my mates got a Athlon II X3 for like £60 to £65 which unlocked to a Phenom II X4 with L3 cache,years ago and that was when they were like around £100.
Edit!!
Here is an example of a lightly threaded game where the FX CPUs do much better than the last generation:
http://media.bestofmicro.com/Z/S/360280/original/wow 1680.png
The Phenom II X6 1100T will be running at 3.7GHZ due to Turbo Core and the FX8350 at 4.2GHZ,so even with the same clockspeeds,the older generation might not be that close. The FX6300 will probably perform around the same, in the game as an FX8350 if clockspeeds are identical,as the game only uses two threads. The test uses a GTX680.

WOW is one of those games that AMD are traditionally really bad at compared to Intel because it is lightly threaded, if you look at Bulldozer and especially the Phenom II x6 you can clearly see that.
Vishera has improved that significantly, it is a whopping 40% faster at stock or 30% faster at the same clock speed than the x6 1100T.
Its still 12% behind the 2500K / 3570K at stock or 20% clock for clock but it is a massive improvement, its getting there and that performance is quite reasonable for the price.
In high threaded and integer tasks the FX-8350 is as fast as the 3770K, either way it is much much faster than an x6, this is what Bulldozer should have been.
With a bit of luck the 28nm Steamroller will give similar performance gains over Piledriver.

Just thought i would show my case with Phanteks cooling the 8350. It is running quietly now even on full song at 4.6GHz which I have adopted as the long term OC. It was 99% stable on 4.8GHz but the odd core drop in prime and higher volts needed decided me. I really like the performance on this CPU. Mostly it is inaudible during general use. The MSI twin frozr is louder and that is a quiet cooler.

You didn't happen to get the batch number off the CPU did you?
It's the 8350s that are regularly hitting 5Ghz+, I've only seen 2 8320s do it and they're both on water cooling with high vcores.
Mine will do 4.8Ghz but with quite high vcore, I'm going to see if I can tweak the voltages so that I can run that 24/7. So far I've decided to run my 30nm RAM at 1600MHz and low timings, rather than 2133MHz, and NB & HT @2200MHz as it reduces some of the voltages and allows it to run considerably cooler. The difference in performance is minimal and if it allows me to run a higher core speed I'll get much more performance from that.
I'm still contemplating swapping it for an 8350 as I think that with the voltages I'm running now I'll easily hit 5Ghz+. If only I'd got a good clocking 8320 I'd be laughing right now.
Still, performance is great, especially from a £130 CPU, there's no Intel chip that would give you that for the same money.
It's really good fun and hugely satisfying clocking these. Intel chips are a bore, they've turned the OCing art into something any chump can do. There's little satisfaction in it. With the right thought and patience you can get more out of even the worst clocking PD chip.

Gotta admit coming from a 3770k to a 8350 isnt a big step down. Thought had just give amd a try. At the minute am love clocking the chip. Currently running at 4.4 1.275vcore 2133mem at 6-10-6-22-32 timing. These 8350 run so low temps.
