The Core 2 brand refers to Intel’s x86 64-bit microprocessors (with the eighth-generation microarchitecture, named Core architecture) targeted at the consumer and business markets (except the servers) above Pentium Dual-Core. The Core 2 Duo branch covered dual-core CPUs for both desktop and notebook computers, Core 2 Quad - quad-core CPUs for desktop computers, and Core 2 Extreme - dual-core and quad-core CPUs for desktop computers and dual-core CPUs for notebook computers.
