Will a CPU with 1 core that's running at 3.00GHz be better than a CPU with 2 cores running at 1.60GHz?

Depends on what your needs are. But generally, no. For a while now, neither Intel nor AMD have manufactured any single core CPUs. So it would essentially equal downgrading.
Two cores is good for multi-tasking. A program that is dual core-aware can make more use of two cores. Or two programs can run in the exact same nanosecond (subject to the limitations of the operating system because it requires managing memory correctly).
Also, look up the CPU names/number and compare some independent benchmarks.

What advantage do dual-core and quad-core precessors have over single-core precessors?
Dual-core processors use two cores for processing,they are capable of running more intensive programs,same are the quad-core processors(They use 4 cores for processing).In short,"THE HIGHER THE NUMBER OF CORES,THE BETTER IS THE PROCESSOR"
How quad core processor works is it multiplying the shown speed?
no, it has four cores running at said speed
Is Intel T5300 processor better than Intel T5250?
Pc's running the T5300 runat 533 FSB and 1,73 x 2 cores and maximum of 2 GB memory The T5250 runs at 1,73 x2 cores and 667 FSB allowing to run maximum of 4 GB memory. You can draw your own conclusions.
DOES dual core processors at 1.6ghz equal 3.2 ghz?
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.
Is Intel Pentium 2.13 GHz better than Intel celeron 2.3GHz?
it seems celeron is better unless Pentium has 2 cores
What is the differences between single-core 2.4GHz and a dual-core 2.0GHz processor?
One is running a single physical processing core at a frequency of 2.4GHz and the other is running two physical processing cores at 2.0GHz. The dual-core processor is signifcantly faster, even if its clock speed is lower, since it has double the processing cores to work with.
Do plums have cores?
Yes, plums have cores. :)
What is the birth name of Macusa Cores?

What is the birth name of Carlos Cores?
Carlos Cores's birth name is Mrquez Cores, Juan Carlos.
How many cores in a hexagon processor have?
6 cores
Which is better Intel core2quad 2.4ghz or Intel core2duo 3.0ghz?
The Core 2 Quad is better as it has 4 Cores. Having 4 Cores does not mean that you need a application which is written for 4 Cores. It has many advantages over a Core 2 Duo. If u run 4 APPS on both. The Core 2 Duo will slow down whereas Core 2 Quadwill run the APPS without slowing down. Each Core will handle 1 app. This is why the C2D is better.
Is it true or false that a computer will be more efficient if its processor has fewer cores?
It depends on how you mean by "efficient". In terms of power consumption…less cores is generally better to have fewer because you have in essence two or more CPUs running at the same time. However, great leaps have been made by Intel to make exceptionally efficient multi-core processors. In terms of processing, often more cores is much more efficient, provided the software used is capable of utilising multiple cores. This software is "multithreaded" meaning that it can accurately spread the processing across more than one core (or processor). Most more recent software makes full use of this.
