That's ok. The black edition is compared to the q6600. This Oc's right up to a QX6700. In fact the black AMD actually has batter memory latencies than the QX6700. But with for cores you really only need these things at 1.8 ghz wheather it's intel or not.

Now as far as a tweekable processor goes....THe intel's may not have the options like the newest phenom. I can change everything even the speed of the on die cache. I dont know intel very well but I don't think you can fine tune them as well as theQ9850 black.
There's stuff I can adjust that I've never seen before in any processor. Even this DDR2 memory I'm still learning about. The options givin to us for OC has come a long way. I remember using jumpers on the mobo's to get over clock in like socket seven and some A sockets as well.
