Forgive the horrible joke
Average price I see for an E6700 is around the $500 mark. AMD's new FX-70 comes in for $599 (from what I read), so basically ladies and jellyspoons, what would you take and why? I read on here and many a form the Intel vs AMD battle, I am not really interested in anyone’s biased opinions (nor are most of the community I should think) based on the raw facts and figures from benchmark test's, what would you take?
Appreciate when you choose an option to say why if you please, (we all love pie so no points there )
I was going to get the QX-6700 Intel but the thing is just FAR to expensive, and although in my sig it is listed and the machine is due around march, with the problems mounting on my ailing Pentium 4, I am actually really needing a new machine ASAP. Although since I am a cheap skate I won’t be getting this for Christmas, but a January delivery is increasingly looking more and more likely for me.
Both processor's marks are listed in red here:

AMD is the clear winner, but as is the way with these things I would think it is not quite as simple as that, so please your thoughts would be appreciated.
But ffs try and stay away from the Intel vs AMD battle it is embarrassing when that starts up!
Thanking you
