Physical cores are number of physical cores, actual hardware components.
Logical cores are the number of physical cores times the number of threads that can run on each core through the use of hyperthreading.
for example, your 6-core processor runs two threads per core, thus you have 12 logical processors.
In your initial question you were asking about the actual speed. The clock speed of your computer is 3.5GHz x the no. of cores, so your speed would be 3.5GHz x 6 physical cores. The higher the clock speed, the more operations the CPU can execute per second.
This page can explain how to calculate processor speed on multi-core processors.
