Intel core2 Duo Processor
The Intel core2 Duo processor is the new brand for Intel Corporation's upcoming processor families for desktop that will arrive in the third quarter, the company announced.
Formerly codenamed Conroe and Merom, the Intel Core2 Duoprocessors for desktop and notebooks PCs respectively are based on the newly designed Intel Core microarchiecture and will include two processing cores - or brains - per chip, hence the "Duo" addition. Intel will also call its highest performing processor for enthusiast and gamers the Intel Core2 Extreme processor.
These processors will be built on Intel's 65-nanometer design and manufacturing process technology that shrinks processor's circutry and transistors. This combiation, maintains Intel, will deliver higher-performing, energy-efficient processors that will spur more capable, stylish, silent and smaller mobile and desktop PCs while saving on electricity usage.
Having a common microarchitecture for the consumer, gaming, notebook and business desktop market segments makes it easier for coputer developers to crate more efficient software applcaions and can share capabilities across all categories if necessary. The products will also support such features as enhanced, virtualization and manageability built right into the processors.
Starting with these new brands, the "2" will signal the arrival of a new generation of technology to the Intel Core processor line. In order to be consistent with current Intel Core processor naming, Intel will continue to use such tems as "Duo" to indicate the number of processing cores per product.
