In short:
Core2Duo is a Core microarchitecture - with the "duo" variants all being
2 cores, no hyperthreading.
Core i7 is a Nehalem or Sandy Bridge microarchitecture - with 4 to 10
hyperthreading cores, and various other improvements.
It stands to reason that this will produce much better performance...the
clock speed plays a minor role. In fact, the 2.2 GHz Sandy Brige will
outperform your 2.2 GHz Core2Duo by a factor of about or more than five
(*).

*: given a task, a software and an OS that can make use of the
additional cores and hyperthreading architecture.
