Intel's Merom and Conroe get a new name: Core 2 Duo
 

As of Monday, Intel will announce that Merom/Conroe will be called "Core 2 Duo/Solo," and not simply "Core Duo/Solo" as most of us originally thought. Also, we're apparently not yet rid of that favorite holdover from late 90's branding, the "Extreme" designation. Intel will allegedly be putting out a "Core 2 Duo Extreme" for gamers at some point.
