Intel is now changing the names/brands of all upcoming processors and will do away with the Core Duo, Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad.
Bill Calder posted the announcement on the Intel blog:
Over time those will go away and in its place will be a simplified family of Core processors spanning multiple levels: Intel Core i3 processor, Intel Core i5 processor, and Intel Core i7 processors.
Core i3 and Core i5 are new modifiers and join the previously announced Intel Core i7 to round out the family structure.
It is important to note that these are not brands but modifiers to the Intel Core brand that signal different features and benefits. For example, upcoming processors such as Lynnfield (desktop) will carry the Intel Core brand, but will be available as either Intel Core i5 or Intel Core i7 depending upon the feature set and capability. Clarksfield (mobile) will have the Intel Core i7 name.
