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.

Now I hope phase change cooling will be affordable by then, and electricity is free. If not, I'll be a very, very poor man.

The Pentium M proves that megahertz didnt translate to actual performance. I remember reading that some Pentium 3s could outdo a Pentium 4 on clock per clock basis.

Centrino's the brand name of Intel for their "Pentium M + WiFi" bundle like what they did with Intel's media center "Viiv".
Core 2 Duo is the desktop version of "Core" while the Core Duo is the mobile part.
I think the quad cores will come out on the Woodcrest/Xenon server chips first before trickling down to consumers.
Merom is the 64-bit enabled notebook chip that will take over Yonah/Core Duo.
If apple were to make a MacPro Quad professional desktop they may more likely use a Woodcrest/Xenon server chip as the Conroe/Core 2 Duo or Core 2 Extreme arent designed to do SMP while the Woodcrest/Xenon can.

It was so much easier to follow when it was just 386, 486, pentium, pentium II, etc
Now there's so much crap in the name of a CPU..
32 cores on one chip by 2010? :shock:

Not bad. Soon we'll have one core per application running on task manager.

Intel is shipping Core 2 Duo Mobile chips (Merom) to manufacturers, according to recent Intel financial report. A recent AppleInsider story had indicated that Intel may have plans to move up Merom's formal launch to next Monday, July 23rd, to coincide with the Core 2 Duo Desktop variant ("Conroe") launch. Despite the move, availablility at the time was still not expected until August.
Merom is expected to replace Core Duo "Yonah" CPUs found in the MacBook Pro. Apple could use the 2.0, 2.16, or the 2.33 GHz variants of Merom in its MacBook Pro line, each of which sport 4 MB of L2 Cache (up from 2 MB in current MacBook Pros) and have a 667 MHz frontside bus.
