more threads or higher clock speed

[jim2442001]

which cpu is better. is it better to have a dualcore with 4 threads and clocked at 2.0ghz or is it better to have a dual core with 2 threads but clocked at 2.0ghz. which is faster? which is better for everyday use?

since both the clockspeed is the same 2.0 ghz, better go with dual core with 4 thread one since each core can run two threads because of Intel's hyperthreading:

Look at the below article on multi threading:
