reghardware.co.uk — Intel will begin producing more dual-core chips than single-core parts this quarter, the chip giant has revealed. Indeed, by the end of 2006, 90 per cent of the mobile CPUs it produces will be dual-core chips, rather more than the company previously forecast.

it really bugs me when people say duo interchangably for what should be "dual"just cuz it's called dual core doesn't mean you can call it a duo!

It's sort of funny how Intel has taken the average computer enthusiast's gaze from clock speed to multiple cores as if they've innovated somehow, when in reality, they're a technological follower.

Funny how AMD has had dual cores for quite some time. Now finally Intel is using dual core, it's about time.I can't wait for the quad cores coming out late this year by AMD.

"just cuz it's called dual core doesn't mean you can call it a duo! "Agreed. Duo is the brand name, dual-core is the technology. You may think I'm splitting hairs but it's an importatnt distinction.

Hmm. Intel came out with the Celeron D before the Pentium D and the Core Duo processors. I find it a little strange that their budget processor line was the first to have dual core.(I know that the Celeron D is not dual core. However, the use of the "D" could confuse the less informed.)
