How different are the Dual-Core & Quad-Core MacBook Pros?

my ultimate decision between macbook pro 13 , 15 inch. want 13 because can upgrade but, need know how different these going be.

don't gaming , stuff, pros , cons each? quad-core users use for?

 

while don't own either of these 2 devices, can tell won't benefit more cores unless lots of parallel processing or apps take advantage of parallelism.

again, speaking (i haven't looked @ latest generation specs), when more cores added, clock speed tends lower. while lower speed doesn't matter parallel jobs, single process jobs (i.e. applications use) have lower speed. if there isn't clock speed difference, more cores better.

there of course few more factors determine how "fast" computer is, rule of thumb.
