Dual core is architecture while core 2 Duo is a registered trademark of Microsoft.

Dual core as the name implies have two processor cores. But core 2 duo is a different technology they have 65 nm platform.

If you want to compare the speed of Core 2 Duo and Dual Core the off course Core 2 Duo is much better than Dual core. Core 2 duo has further different classes like the Core 2 Quad.

Remember that all Core 2 Duo processors are Dual Core but all Dual cores are not Core 2 Duo.

Core 2 Duo, Intel i3, i5 and i7 have the same technology with only change in speed.
