Maybe I shouldn't start a thread for this, but here is the most concise explanation I've found for the naming of the core chips:

Pay attention to not confuse Core 2 Duo with Core Duo. Core Duo is the commercial name for a Pentium M manufactured using 65 nm process, codenamed Yonah, while Core 2 Duo is the commercial name for the CPU codenamed Merom (for laptops) or Conroe (for desktops), which uses the new Intel Core microarchitecture.

I was going to post this in the other thread about the naming, not sure why it was closed.

Sorry for starting a thread if I'm the only that was confused by this.
 
Soo...you're just cleaning up the difference between Core Duo and Core 2 Duo?

Yeah..most of us got it. ;) ..but that's cuz we're all hardware geeks and have been following this stuff for a while. :p
 
This is noted, and we dont need another thread debating about it.
