To me it just sounds like things are going to get "AMD" all over again, and be confusing (this is originally why i liked Intel - I could understand exactly what i was looking at for the most part).
If they're going to change up names, simply call 'em "Dual Core 2.4GHz" or "Quad Core 1.8GHz" ... or yea, "Core 2D 2.4GHZ" or "Core 2Q 1.8GHz" ... i dunno, but as long as "reading and understanding model numbers, code-names, code-words, etc..." doesn't come into play I think I'll survive.

blah...AMD all over again..

Just for heaven's sake, keep it simple.
