E6600 beats FX62 in majority of tests. And don't forget that E6600 consume less power, more overclockable and cheaper. Also E6600 supports SSSE3, so this means that E6600 will beat FX62 by far in future programs that will use SSSE3 instructions.
So, there is no reason for anyone to get FX62 instead of E6600. Period.
Why do you think that it is "little bit over exaggerated" ?? !!
Just look at this benchmark and read the conclusion

E6700 clearly beats 6000+, and 6000+ consumes nearly double the power of E6700.
That's very interesting, you'd think it might be the other way around. But different processors require different things.
