Think of the processors as a highway. Dual Core would be a six lane highway with a 50 MPH speedlimit, whereas the 4000+ would be a three lane highway with a 70 MPH speedlimit. Games cannot currently use the extra three lanes as many games are specifically written for single core systems - they are single threaded.
