“Anyone know why specs on the I-3 model is 3.2 ghz while the upgraded I-5 is only clocked at 2.2 Ghz? If it is because the I-5 is a dual core, does that mean that it is still a slower computer since each core can still only run at 2.2 ghz.”

I believe this boils down to an analogy of work performed and not just speed. Because the dual core processors can simultaneous work together, even though their slower individually, their processing say 1.5 to 2 times the information. So l look at the total processes performed and see that in essence the slower dual processors working in tandem are performing the work equivalent to a single 3.3 to 4.4 Ghz. And that leads to the reason why they invented Quad-core chips. Many "robots" working together in synchrony to move many more processes faster. And if you harnessed the power of many chips performing in this way you'd have a "Super Computer", which is essentially the way they operate, at least on simple terms.
