It really depends on how you use your computer.

I picked the 3.2GHz dual-core CPU for my XPS 5, and I love the computer's ability to do something CPU intensive in the background without bogging down everything else I do on the computer. (Major improvement over my Dim8100 with a P4 2.6GHz CPU, which was really annoying to use if I had something major going on in the background while I was trying to do other things.) If I played a lot of demanding games that needed every bit of CPU speed they could get, then I'd have gone for a single core CPU with a higher clock speed. But for what I do, the slightly slower dual-core is better: I don't mind giving up a small FPS increase in my gaming in order to keep my computer useable even when I'm doing something demanding in the background.
