Dual x5650s are 1300 points in cinebench where a 6700k is about 1000. So it's faster, but that's best case. For video editing games, 3d modeling, and most uses its slower.
So basically, what we're arguing about here is that if you need a zillion threads, a dual-Xeon platform makes sense. If you need raw power in applications and can live with eight or fewer threads, an i7 is a more cost-effective and arguably cheaper platform.
...wait, where's the argument again? It sounds like you two are just disagreeing to agree.
