Re: Intel Duo Core to Quad Core?

I think Intel claims a 5% improvement for the Quad Core over the Dual Core.
It's better for more calculation intensive operations like multi-media.
OTOH, some people have said it takes time before more applications and games
are written to take advantage of the add'l cores?

Any benefit(s) upgrading from an Intel Duo Core processor to an Intel Quad
Core, say at the same frequency 2.4 to 2.4?
