Q9550 @ 3.6 is working fine. Next generation I may upgrade my main box.
^ You will mostly find praise on any and all of these new chips. Clock for clock averages about a 25% increase, inter-core latency is reduced significantly, add on the additional throughput from an overall average higher overclock, and the addition of the hyper threads on some of these then the difference becomes very great. There is also the advantage of DDR3's higher memory bandwidth if you aren't using that already of course.
I was able to make my Q6600 choke on certain things that even this I3 cuts through like a razor blade on steriods.
