we need some good benchmarks comparing the q6600 and AMD's best. I dont think we'll get those until release time in Aug. especially if the benchies dont stack up to Intel. AMD wouldnt want these released early if thats the case. Everything I read said that if they released on schedule way back when and didnt have the slipage in release date to today, it might have been a different price/power comparison that what we're gonna get now.
