Netburst is dead, and long live Core! This is something Intel announced a little over a year ago. The Netburst architecture introduced with the Pentium 4 in November 2000 is now replaced by a new architecture called Core, available for desktop, mobile and server platforms.

Intel will release new Xeons in the days to come and at the end of July the Core 2 Duo LGA 775 processors. BeHardware.com has studied the release of Core architecture but also the performances of the Core 2 Duo product line in practice.
