What Nick said mostly. There are a number of articles comparing them in gaming and non-gaming applications as well s comparing dual core to dual processor. Google: dual core performance single (Or something close)

What does best really depends on the application and the performance of the other system components.

Many games for example don't see any benefit unless you are running multiple high end video cards to eliminate that bottleneck.

For File/print servers, Dual Core is overkill. I'd rather have dual singles so if I lost a CPU I can run with 1, but try and find a non-Dual core server these days. non-Dual core anything is getting hard to find.
