That was until they went to 90nm fabarcation and experienced difficulties that not one foresaw.

Yeah I know, but official now the blackout has been lifted, though I just post up some specs with a new topic.

No, just a second generation of the efficency design. Or true efficency design. Yonah was the bridge grap. Yonah was derived from Pentium M aka Centrino (with mobo, CPU, WiFi). And of course the Pentium was derived from Pentium III. But Yonah was considered to be the first ground up efficent design with 2 Cores thus the name Core Duo. This is the second generation so Core 2 Duo.

I don't think Intel will release quad Cores until early next year. Although Apple will probably release two CPUs with two Cores each thus making 4 Cores in their PowerMac/Mac Pro towers.
