What price differential should the i3-370M garner over the P6100 in a laptop with all else being equal?

I see that the i3 clocks at 2.4 GHz vs 2.0 GHz
i3 has hyper-threading
i3 has SSE4.1 and SSE4.2, P6100 has 64-bit inst. set
i3 has virtualization vs. no

That's all I noticed.
I suppose it really depends on what its to be used for but in a general sense should the P6100 be avoided if the price is close?
What about Joe the plumber who only surfs and emails and downloads porn?
