List of Intel Core 2 microprocessors


The Core 2 brand refers to Intel's x86/x86-64 microprocessors with the Core microarchitecture targeted at the consumer and business markets above Pentium. The Core 2 solo branch covered single-core CPUs for notebook computers, Core 2 Duo – dual-core CPUs for both desktop and notebook computers, Core 2 Quad – quad-core CPUs for both desktop and notebook computers, and Core 2 Extreme – dual-core and quad-core CPUs for both desktop and notebook computers.
