Contrary to what Intel roadmaps had previously indicated, Intel today officially announced the Intel Core 2 Quad processor. The Core 2 Quadro moniker that was designated earlier appears to have been changed at the last minute, as launch material from late September 2006 claimed the official product name would be Core 2 Quadro.
Is this actually a surprise? I mean.. Quadro was ok, but a simple Core 2 Quad just looks better. I look forward to seeing how they will name future processors with more than 4 cores. Core 2 Octo?
