Well, I would think that is a bit redundant isn't it? Core *2* Duo?

Almost makes me think that there are going to be four cores in it. Like the new Intel Tukwila Itanium is supposed to have.

Same here. Maybe they changed their mind.

I think the '2' makes sense... though it does seem redundant at first.

Core = original generation, Yonah
Core 2 = Merom/Conroe
Core 3 = Nehalem

So the number is the generation of the core, and the Solo/Duo/Quadro is the # of cores.

So in 2008, if Intel has a 4-core Nahalem, it will be called Core 3 Quadro

Ah, that makes more sense to me; I suspected something like that...but it is hard to keep up with all the name changes, especially from Intel.
