if on a new computer, it says 2ghz dual core, does this mean it is its 2ghz on each core?

"I got a new laptop that said it had 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor. Does that mean it is 2GHz each core or 1GHz each core"

it depends on the Exact type of processor you have; goto Intels' website, and look, I have linked one of thier more clear descriptions for you, that lists the CPU you seem to be describing.

Yep, that's what it means. Two cores, and two chases.
