Sorry, when I say "dual core" I'm not talking about the brand name, I'm talking about a system that has 2 cores, likewise with quad core, a system that has 4 cores.
Obviously core 2 duo is a type of dual core system, but what I think Darwinian was confused about was the fact that a "dual core" system had specs of 2.7 MHz and a "quad core" system had specs of 2.2 MHz. The MHz value is a reference to one of the cores in the system.
It becomes even more confusing when Intel have a "Core 2" range that includes quad cores! Honestly, whose idea was it to name the product "Core 2 Quad"!?!?
