Hard to explain, but it's faster than single-core. This is probably an inaccurate way of demonstrating it:
Assume something gives 100% power (this would be single-core), now dual core would be more like:
100% + 50%.
So it's like half of what you previously had. So you are gaining more power and speed, it is BETTER than single core, but it's not double the power. Does that make sense? Also, if I am wrong, I would like to be corrected. That is all. I'm sure others here can either correct me, or explain it better. My analogy probably made very little sense as I'm not too experienced in comparing the two.
