In addition, all quad-core processors for mainstream based on Core macroarchitecture belong to Intel Core 2 Quadro family.More details at HKEPC.

Kentsfield are quad-core processors based on Core architecture. It’s made from combining two Conroe core together, similar to dual-core Presler, where L2 Cache is separated for each code that the transfer between have to make use of FSB and the north bridge.
