The table below compares support for x86 extensions and technologies, as well as individual instructions and low-level features of the Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 and Intel Core i3-550 microprocessors. Information in this table was retrieved from actual processors using CPUID instruction, and we also utilized internal timer to measure CPU frequency.
Below is a complete set of Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 and Core i3-520 benchmarks from our CPU benchmark database. The former processor was tested on ASRock 4Core1600Twins-P35 motherboard with 2 GB dual-channel Corsair CM3X1024-1333C9 DDR3 memory, and Powercolor 24PRO256M DDR2 (ATI Radeon HD2400).

The charts in the table below illustrate relative performance of Core 2 Duo E8400 and Core i3-4170T CPUs. Results for Core 2 Duo E8400 were determined based on a number of benchmarks. Performance numbers for Core i3-4170T were derived from benchmark results of other processors with the same core and microarchitecture.
I built myself an old Core 2 Duo Wolfdale E8400 back in 2008 or so. This processor was a beast and it is only held back by the time it was made. Usually it isn't a processor that goes for basic use, it is things like a slow hard drive or integrated graphics not able to scale well with newer and larger monitors.
