r00t wrote The Tek Syndicate video is widely known as one of the worst and most misleading comparisons. It's one of their (LOGAN'S) videos where they just throw out science completely and show that they really don't know what they're doing. In rare cases of more threads being MUCH more important than per-core performance, the 8320/8350 can pull ahead of the i5. In that case, you wanted the Xeon E3-1230 V3 in the first place for about the same price as the i5. The more-expensive CPU is faster than the cheaper one, not surprising.

They were probably payed or sponsored or whatever'd by AMD to do that video. How many 12 year olds would believe that is infinite. Because they believe everything on youtube.
