Rendering Speed - Intel Dual Core vs. Quad Core

If all other things are equal (HDD speed and config, physical memory, etc..), how much would rendering speed be improved using an Intel quad core vs. a dual core?

Thanks!

I have upgraded from E6600 to Q6600, I get about 30% faster on average.

on my quad core I regularly have the bottleneck be the USB2 hard drive. If I edit/render on my internal SATA all four cores go ~100%. With the USB2 drive they top out ~80%.

but with my duel core I can do 3d track motion w/o pre-rendering to see how it looks. So it's great for preview!
