Verdict
At the end of the day it is obvious that the Intel QX6700 is a heck of a performer both stock and overclocks well. This CPU is a great upgrade path for those currently running other Core 2 CPUs as you can just plug it into your mainboard with the only catch possibly being the need for a bios update. There is no denying the speed of this processor; AMD simply has nothing that can touch the performance of the QX6700 on paper or in the real world. If you are an overclocker, gamer or serious video editor this is the CPU for multitasking. The only drawback is that all this performance comes at a price, which may be more than many gamers can squeeze out of their budgets.
