This really depends on what games you want to play and how long you want this processor to be up to date.
In most games today, the dual core will be faster. This is because most games today don't utilize the quad core technology. Certain games, like Crysis, on the other hand, do utilize the quad core technology therefore will run better and faster with the quad core.
Now for the longevity point of view. The quad core is up and coming technology. In the future, more and more games will utilize all four cores. Therefore, if you want a processor that performs better for future games, the quad core is your best bet.
Also, quad cores are better for multitasking because they can spread the load out over 4 cores instead of the 2 in a dual core.
As you can probably tell, this is really a give and take situation. It is really up to you as to want you want out of your processor.
Hope this helps,

It has a lower clock speed but the other two cores will make up for it and then some.
