    Hello,
    it is not the same architecture (internal structure), nor the same generation:
    the Core i3 is newer, based on the Nehalem architecture, and it is also more powerful than the Core 2 Duo at the same frequency
    you can read the explanations here:
    https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Core_2
    https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westmere
    it should be noted that since the beginning of this year, a new generation of processors has been released, the Sandy Bridge, even more powerful

      Yes, it's more powerful than Core 2 Duo at the same frequency, but for example, mine is an i3 at 2 GHz and it's more powerful than the Core 2 Duo at 2.4 GHz.
