That will be great for any current games, and overclocks well too.

Pentium D 940 is 3.2 GHz.

A dual core isn't anymore efficient than a single core of the same architecture.

He was comparing modern dual cores to single core Pentium 4's. You are right (core to core) but that's not what he was referring to.

luckily, there isnt a single core intel chip with the same architecture as any of the multi core chips out there

^ Actually, there is. There are single-core celerons for laptops, based on the Core2 architecture... my laptop's CPU being one of those.
