for me the E5200 has a 45nm die compared to 65nm for the E4400, so the E5200 is the 'newer' architecture so would have a slight speed benefit you'd think.

Does the architecture not mostly have to do with power consumption rather than speed ?

true, I guess my point was referring more to the fact the 45nm processor is the newer architecture, so on that basis, I would think it the better gear with all other things being equal.
but I'm not that much of a geek to have any in-depth knowledge.

I am in the same boat as you with the in-depth knowledge aspect .
ive read thattheCore 2 Duohas an new improvedand more efficient architecture.
thePentium Dual Corein oppositisbased on thePentium4...
i have used speccy
core 2 duo have 33°C (with reduced corespeed 1200 mhz per core --> 6x200)
pentium dual core have 42°C (with reduced corespeed of 1200 mhz per core --> 6x200)
33°C and 42°C is not that bad if you think about it. CPUs can handle a lot more than that.
My current CPU (i7-3770 22nm) was running at 70°C for a while after gaming for a weekend none stop on a stock standard Intel cooler. She was fine but I just changed my CPU cooler to a Cooler master 212x and now she is running in between 33°C - 45°C. Depending what I am doing with her.
The new Intel is 14nm if not mistaken and that did make a massive improvement on power consumption and speed.
If I have to choose between 45nm and 65nm I will go with the 45nm purely due to power usage as more power a thing use the hotter it will get. Anything else is a bonus.
Intel's 14nm manufacturing technique. The Broadwell-Y (Core M) products are a little slower than older chips but use far less power, allowing for the latest in super-thin, light and sometimes passively cooled (no fans) machines.
Meanwhile Broadwell-U (Celeron, Pentium, Core i3/i5/i7) chips provide a boost in performance for little to no increase in power consumption.
