Not exactly.
Dual core means there is two cores. Two processors.
Those two processors are both running at 1.6 GHz.
Both cores are taking loads, but only at 1.6 Ghz.
They aren't combined to make 3.2 GHz.
It's just two cores running at 1.6 GHz, each handling part of the
processing load.

Are core 2 duo processors and dual core processors the same?
No
Will dual core processors be obsolete in the near future?
Technology is rapidly changing to anything is possible. Quad-core processors are next it will be sometime before quad-core processors become the market norm and dual core processors become obsolete.
Does the D945GNT motherboard support dual-core processors?
Yes. The Intel D945GNT motherboard supports dual-core Pentium D processors.
Difference between core 2 duo and Dual core processors?
Core 2 duo is dual core. And before that was core duo which was dual core too...
Explain dual-core with reference to microprocessors?
Dual core represents two processors in a single system.Speed will be more in dual core systems.
The first multi-core or dual-core processors are available from?
2005
What is the difference between core 2 duo and dual core processors?
the difference is core 2 duo gives more cooler temperature and supports more features than dual core processors
How many cores can a computer have?
Computer processor cores come as single core (one processor), Dual core (two processors), Quad core (four processors) and Six Core. Although apple now offers a computer which can have 8 or 12 cores
When did the multiple-core or dual core processors become available?
Dual-core processors were released to the general public in 2005 by both AMD and Intel. Quad-core processors were released two years later in 2007. Hexi-core (6) came out in 2010. There are currently 8 and 16 core processors available for servers, although home PC Octa-cores are not available.
Will a dual-core processor work with an Intel 865G motherboard?
No. The Intel 865 chipset doesn't support dual-core processors.
Compare multi-core and dual core?
"Dual core" implies that there are two separate instruction execution units placed on a single "die." Some use shared components, such as cache, while others have two full processors, including all sub-components. All dual core processors could be considered multi-core (which simply means multiple "cores" or "processors"). However, a tri-core or quad-core is also a multi-core. Therefore, all dual cores are multi-cores, but not all multi-cores are dual cores.
