I will wait on the pricing before saying who will win this. AMD might just price it a little lower, but by that time, Intel might slash the price for the E6600 too. with the performance that little, this is too hard to call. but I'd say it's still an Intel lead for this

But doesnt this mean that the E6600 will still be better for overclocking as it will uses less power and produce less heat? and I thought 'w' stand for watt and if it's the architecture, we would have used 'nm' or nanometre instead

*ADDED*
ikanayam had clarified the matter above.

looking back at the 1st page, you can see that another forumer (ahpaul82) mentioned that the E6600 is cheaper by 10 bucks.

Meaning? for this price you will get the standard things. Proc, heatsink, etc..

it will teeter and tooter between the both of them, but I agree, the 5600 is just a short time answer and cannot compare to the 6600
