List of future Intel Core 2 microprocessors

This article contains information about scheduled or expected future computer chips.
It may contain preliminary or speculative information, and may not reflect the final specification of the product.

The Core 2 brand refers to Intel's x86 64-bit microprocessors (with the eighth-generation microarchitecture, named Intel Core microarchitecture) targeted at the consumer and business markets (except the servers) above Pentium Dual-Core. The Core 2 Duo branch covered dual-core CPUs for both desktop and mobile computers, Core 2 Quad - quad-core CPUs for higher-end desktop computers, and Core 2 Extreme - dual-core and quad-core CPUs for the highest-end desktop computers.
