A proc with 2 core dont mean its the same as a c2d. I3 have 2 core too and its as powerfull as a big core2quad.

i just checked it a Pentium E is the same as Core2duo in the term of Architecture ( eg. Intel® Pentium® Processor E5700 )

And to blow your mind even more, the Pentium G8XX, Pentium G6XX, Celeron G5XX and Celeron G4XX (single-core) are all Core i3-2100 dies that didn't make the cut.

Now you know why they are cheaper. HT has been disabled. It's an i3/i5/i7 exclusive feature.

i3 2 cores with HT
i5 4 cores no HT
i7 4 core with HT

Ugh. What about the i5-2410m? 2 cores with HT.
