Intel finally did away with NetBurst and focused their R&D department on slowing down the clock speeds and working on a more efficient method of computing. The Core 2 Duo offers the latest, greatest architecture that is exclusive to the Core 2 line of processors. As in the name, all Core 2 Duo processors are dual-core and offer up a whole new platter of features. What's the fastest Core 2 Duo you might ask? The 2.66GHz E6700 is, and I assure you, it's faster than any Pentium 4 processor that clocks in at 1.2GHz higher.
