Announcing Intel® Core™2 Quad Processor
Intel leads with quad-core technology
Our upcoming quad-core performance desktop processor will be named the Intel® Core™2 Quad processor. Formerly known by the codename Kentsfield, the Intel Core 2 Quad processor is based on the Intel® Core™ microarchitecture, Intel's industry-leading foundation for energy efficient performance, and when launched early next year will be the world's first mainstream desktop processor to feature four processing cores.
The '2' signifies that this new product is a member of the Intel Core 2 processor family. Just as 'Duo' means dual-core, 'Quad' will indicate the number of processing cores in each product.
Extreme goes quad-core too
Intel also announced that, in addition to a dual-core version launched in July, the Intel® Core™2 Extreme processor brand will now include a quad-core version to be launched later this year. Buyers will be able to identify each version through both the full product name and unique processor number.
Both of these new processors will feature industry-leading Intel® quad-core technology and will extend the performance and technology leadership of the Intel® Core™2 processor brand.
