Each core runs at 3.0 GHz separately.

Each core runs at 3.0GHz together
Therefore 1 core can be processing one thing (at 3.0GHz)
And the other core can be processing another thing (at 3.0GHz)
Which makes it only working at 3.0GHz, but being twice as fast at it (by the way its more like + 50% as fast)
Multiprocessing is the keyword here

Here is some more information that may confuse you. It is difficult to compare many processors by simply comparing clock speeds. Processors with newer technology can perform more calculations per clock cycle than an older central processing units.
An example is an Intel Core 2 Duo E7200 2.53 gigahertz Processor versus an Intel Pentium D Processor 960 3.6 gigahertz processor. The E7200 is a faster processor than the Pentium D 960 because it can perform more calculations per clock cycle .

Each core runs at 3ghz.
lovely?

no because a 6ghz single core probably wouldn't perform as well as a dual core 3ghz. i think its called diminishing returns...
