Core 2 Duo is already making an impact, and in a good way too. This jump from netburst has seen the largest ever improvement in performance from an architectural transition, completely annihilating all previous benchmarks.

If Core 2 Duo is so fast, just imagine what you could do with twice the power. Luckily, it's not as far off as you may think. Introducing Core 2 Quadro, codename - Kentsfield. Due for launch in Q1 2007, this will be no doubt the fastest mainstream CPU manking has ever seen (Unless of course AMD roll out K8L earlier and it actually performs any better than the Core 2 architecture).
