X3350: 6286
Q9450: 6238

Both at 3.80GHz (475 x 8), both under Windows XP. I think we can rest the case now. And I now think I can break 18000 points in 3DMark06 under Windows XP as well... eheheheh...

Edit: and in case you want to keep it up, I think it's time I point out that... the said article doesn't have anything to back its own statement up aside from some statistics. That, and 3% of a difference is not that much IMO.
