will an i7 720QM laptop processor be faster than a Q6600 pc processor?

Okay so my computer right now has a q660 intel processor (2.4ghz),
Im thinking of getting a laptop to replace it, i mostly do 3d/compositing work so will the i7 be faster in terms of rendering?

anyone?

A Q6600 runs natively at 2.4ghz on all cores, and is easily overclocked to 3ghz+, whilst a 720QM runs at 1.6ghz, and won't be overclockable at all, but can boost the speed of one core to 2.8ghz whilst under duress, so I'd say the Q6600 SHOULD be faster, but it would depend on how well the application supports multiple CPU's.

so the i7 can only boost the speed of ONE core? not all four?
Also the programmes that i will be using can make use of all cores

Also i remember reading somewhere that the i7 was 20% or so faster clock for clock compared to nomral quadcores in rendering.
