I guess he was referring to the twice as wide arithmetic units (FPUs/ALUs) in the Core (2) Duos. Its either twice as precise or twice as fast compared to the AMD if used in SSE mode.
Thats the most important advantage. The next thing worthy to mention would be the better fitting architecture (at least I think the 2MB cache models are quite energy friendly when compared against any modern dual core AMD).
