The quad core is better. As its 4 cores, the workload is spread efficiently between them so it runs smoother. But the quad core is more expensive.
The Intel Core 2 Duo processor was designed to meet the demand for increased performance from PC users. It can run multiple, intense software applications simultaneously.
There is no difference between dual core and core 2 duo. Intel just name its recent family of dual core processors as "core 2 duo". Both (core 2 duo and dual core) works in same fashion.
Dual core processors are often marked as "duo" in Intel processors. Dual core processors have 2 cores and quad has 4 cores. Quad cores perform better.
quad core has 4 cores a dual core has 2 cores
A dual core processor has two processing cores, whereas a quad core has four.
I Would say nothing, except maybe the cores can split the load better in the 8 core. Can you provide a link to the dual quad core your looking at?
the difference between i5-6xx (Dual Core) and the i5-7xx (Quad Core) is that the Dual Cores have a integrated GPU clocked at about 733MHz, however the Quad Cores are extremely fast and the i5-760 can even outrun some of the i7s! also the dual cores have half the L3 Cache as the Quads. Unless u really do not want to buy a GPU i would go for a i5 Quad as the i5-750 is only £8 more expensive than the cheapest Dual.
Dual core 2 is the 2nd version of the dual core processor and quad core is obviously 4 cores in a processor.

i3 is a dual core. The i7 model is a quad core processor.
independent cores into a single package composed of a single IC. A dual-core processor contains two cores, and a quad-core processor contains four cores.

Intel E processors are dual core, whereas Q processors are the newer quad core versions. For a definition of multi-core systems see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_core
Quad core comes after dual core. Although Intel has a new range called i3, i5 and i7.
Applications which have been designed to take advantage of mult-core processors will run about twice as fast on a quad core processor as compared to a dual core processor.
