I think that battlefield system info programme is rubbish!
Battlefield 2, BF2142 has not been programmed to take advantage of multi-threading. This means that the second core found in the latest dual-core CPUs sits basically unused in Battlefield 2142 which is why you get only a slight fluctuation of processor speed for a single processor shown.... This is currently the reality of dual core, the largest group of software supporting dual core is benchmarking.

Microsoft Office does not fully support it
Adobe Photoshop does not fully support it
Internet Explorer does not fully support it
And most games do not fully support it

Here is a interview with DICE programmer Marko Kylmamaa where he states in order to realize the real performance benefits a careful attention has to be paid into structuring the code for the correct granularity in mind, to make it suitable for multi-core execution.
