It is not better. Its more expensive
I bet 99.9% of all gamers wouldnt feel the difference between a Q9650 (4x 3GHz) and a E8400 (2x 3GHz), because no games has a big profit of quads. And maybe 5 have ANY profit of quads, mostly 1-5%.
Quads for gamers are nonsense, because so less games support it. But its usual for graphics design, video encoding, photo-editing and stuff.
Its made for this kind of applications, not for games
The quad has more cashe and windows can still use the 2 other cores to other stuff like antivirus etc when you are gaming so you got 2 free cores to game with.
So i think more then 0.1 would feel diffrent

And like i said, futumark gives point of what computer you got.. not the best game fps. And its our computers we compare here
