I know, I was reffering to the Q9450 vs the Q6600...
Considering that the Q6600 is about $100 cheaper on average, the Q6600 still beats it out for value, some Q9450s are almost $400... the Q9300 is going for about $310... the price and low multi is just not doing it for these processors. I mean, in those reviews, the only benefit I see is if you're into encoding and the likes - but in gaming there's no improvement whatsoever, and as for the cache, I don't see it helping in games....
