Both are good for 3d rendering if we are looking at multi-thread case.
http://www.anandtech.com/bench/CPU/39There's also some cases that FX8350 performs better when the software utilize the multi-core thread from AMD cpu, but I cant remember where's the benchmark results. You can change the bench setting on link above.
By considering i7 is slightly expensive and also offer slightly better performance, lower power consumption, etc. However, we have the option of Xeon E3 1230v2/v3 that offers similar performance as i7 3770/4770 at RM100 cheaper price.
If I understand you right,
between AMD FX 8-Core Black Edition FX-8350 RM659
and
Core i7-4770 - RM990
its much valuable to take FX-8350 for rendering
and if compare between
FX-8350
and
Xeon E1230v3 - RM790
its still considerable to take Xeon is it?
Im considering in changing to AMD just for the sake of trying things out and from what I head its much easier to OC FX CPU rather than intel core.
oh yeah, never OC before and I think its time for me to take another step
