Windows 8 gaming benchmarks

I respect Linus‘ reviews and benchmarks, and in part 3 and 4 of his Intel Core i5 3570K vs AMD FX-8350 series comparison he compared two very popular unlocked CPUs from Intel and AMD in similar price range under Windows 8. Both CPUs were tested in similar test benches, and were overclocked to a reasonable speed that anyone can accomplish. In conclusion, Windows 8 provided generally better performance, including better lower frames per second, resulting in more smoother gameplay.
