| Codenamed Penryn, the latest revision of Intel's Core 2 processor line is the first CPU to be based on the most advanced fabrication ever developed: the 45nm process. This is down 30% from the 65nm process Core 2 has been based on since its launch, giving further reductions in power consumption and transistor density. |

| The Athlon brand is getting decidedly long in the tooth, but the current crop of dual-core, 64-bit, 65nm processors is anything but behind the times. |

| Semprons have been around since 2004, but these latest revisions, based on the 65nm Sparta core, only started to emerge last summer. They're still single core, but fully 64-bit capable, and can be used in any Socket AM2 motherboard. |

| The Core 2 Quad and Core 2 Extreme are the most powerful CPUs in Intel's line-up. As the name implies, Core 2 Quad processors all have four physical cores, while the Core 2 Extreme range includes one dual-core processor - the X6800 - as well as the quad-core QX6000 and QX9000 ranges. |

| The Pentium, Intel's old premium brand, is now a little brother to the Core 2 Duo, and a new dual-core Celeron provides parallel processing on an even leaner budget. These processors are all based on the same 65nm Allendale core used in low-end Core 2 Duo processors, with the same thermal design power of 65W. |
