Okay... found a professional review after some tedious searches:

From what I can see, E6600 @ 2.4GHz only outperforms X3220 @ 2.4GHz by a little tiny bit in gaming... almost invisible differences. E6600 was also faster in some cases, too... and I'm just guessing that Q6600 would yield the same result... somewhat. But I don't think it can be up to 25% in gaming. As far as I know, Crysis is the only game that might benefit just a little from quad-core processors.
I think that guy was drunk, should have had similar results maybe Xeon had something that could slice a bit of performance.

25% is just too much. So we could say both were drunk the guy who did that Doom 3 test and the guy said 25% for desktops counterparts.

We need more benchs. We will have soon. I know it.
