Yeah I was pretty impressed with the 2600 benchmarks and noticed the difference immediately on some games (gta v for example) which always ran slower than intel on the 1600 and those differences were gone.
Compared to the 8400 you get more threads (double), you can OC the 2600 and the socket will probably see a longer life than the intel one. They cost the same as well.
EDIT:
The 8400 has higher overall fps but many reviewers exlain what you do not pick up from the benchmarks is the smoother gameplay feel on the 2600 due to it having better 0.1% & 1% frame dip issues.
