I'm runnng P5, P6, P7 and P7Pro on a Q6600 system. Compared to my previous Athlon4400x2, everything is signficantly faster. Of course rendering benefits from the 4 cores, but all other aspects also are faster than on the Athlon.
An advantage of the E8500 is that it's built using 45 nm tech, whereas the Q6600 uses 65 nm tech. Which means that the E8500 uses less power and runs cooler. THen again, I didn't overclock my system, and CPU temperature and system temperature always remain below 50 C, even when CPU usage is 100% for extended periods (hours).
The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
