I say we should look at all real world benchmarks, not only the ones that favor Phenom II X6. And as you noticed, i7 performs better in many real world applications such as winrar or photoshop and gaming. Should we ignore these real world app just because it not very well optimized for six cores ?
And yet, ironically, you want everyone to focus on the reviews that slant in intels favor. For every review that shows one thing, there is another that doesn't. I say f##k the bs reviews and their agenda, I've seen more than most of them combined with the handful of users that actually bought the chips with their own money. I trust them more than reviews from websites anymore. LostCircuits being one of a couple exceptions.

Anyway, yeah it looks like the price tag is certainly justified.
