Core 2 duo is intel's previous generation dual core cpu with hyperthreading disabled. Intel i3 is newer generation dual

core with hyperthreading enabled. If you are buying a new system go with i3-530. the platform cost is slightly higher

than core 2 duo but its worth the money. Check out this review here.
