Core Duo:2.4Ghz, 2 cores, up to 3.2GB RAM (slower)
Pi 5: 2.4Ghz, 4 cores, up to 8 GB RAM (faster)
However, that only applies if the apps are native. Core Duo is x86 but Raspberry Pi is ARM, so if you take an x86 app and try it on both it has a very good chance of being faster on the Core Duo since it has to be emulated on the Pi. But if you have two apps that do the exact same thing, except one is written for x86 and the other is written for ARM, then the ARM version on the Pi 5 would be faster than the x86 version of the same app on the Core Duo.
So in other words, on paper the Pi 5 is faster. But in reality it really depends on your apps.
