Q6600 vs X5450

[crazysteve240]

Which CPU would be better for gaming and streaming? The X5450 or the Q6600 (overclocked)? The game that I will be playing and possibly be streaming is mainly CS: GO.

According to userbenchmark, the X5450 is around 47% faster than the Q6600.

But, would a Xeon be better for gaming over a Core 2 Quad?

Basically, yeah.
