dual core [as in pentium d] and core 2 are different in the size of die used. dual core pentium d, is 90nm while core 2' e6*** are 65nm, while the newer e8*** core2 series are 45nm. [and in this case e3*** series xeons.]
die shrink is whats needed to achieve lower power consumtion which in turn allows for a cooler cpu which equals a much larger overhead for overclocking. [hence more speed] its not quite that simple but you get the idea.
