i dont like the way intel called the dual core pentium M's Core Duo's since technically dothan isnt part of the new "core" architecture and yonah is just two dothans stapled together.

yeah core 2 is derived from those chips, but the "core" branding was more a way for intel to step away from the netburst architecture behind the P4, and bring something new to the the table seeing as raw clock speed wasnt panning out.

dothan/yonah kinda existed before the core branding and so shouldnt really be labled as such.

Wow... I like how you like to spew FUD.

Core2 Duo is based on Core Duo (Yonah) technology with Netburst pre-fetchers and decoder. Do you wonder why Netburst Optimized Compilers work better for Core2 than Pentium-M Optimized Compilers? As for the raw clockspeed comment, I'm pretty damn sure a 4Ghz Core2 > 3Ghz Core2, as most people who overclock will point out.

As for Yonah being 2 Dothans stapled together, I dont see how thats possible, seeing as how Yonah has a shared L2 hierarchy whereas even the AMD X2 is dual independant L2's. Its physically NOT POSSIBLE to seperate a Yonah; Core Solo's are nothing more than Core Duo's with a core disabled due to a manufacturing defect.
