X3440 vs Q9450

Yeah, those kind of benchmarks are what made me ask here. I'm not sure what passmark's single core benchmark measures, but it doesn't pertain to Dolphin performance. I tried out the Q9450 and it seems about the same as the E8400 I used to have, except I can run other stuff in addition to Dolphin with the extra cores. Both processors will give me fullspeed Mario Kart, but only the X3440 will give me fullspeed in 2 player, so it's going to remain my main computer for now.
