If you look at any quad core, each core speed is (and I could be wrong) I think the highest speed is around 2.6-2.8. IIRC the fastest single core speed was 3.8- 4 Ghz. When you are running a multicore CPU, unless the software utilizes it, it will only run on one core.
I have a PIV maschine myself (no, I didn't chose it, it was provided me at work, *I* wanted an AMD back then), these PIVs have the worst performance/cycle you can think of. In fact I guess those PIVs were the worst fate silicon ever suffered. Intel did a dramatic turn and the Core architecture was really a huge step ahead. In the mid range AMD is still there, but Intel drives the market today more than ever.
