Obviously, this is only the first part of a series of articles. The second part, on AMD processors, will follow (along with a piece on AMD’s ATI graphics cards). But the story of the Intel x86 processors doesn’t end with the Core 2 Duo, and obviously other models are planned for the future. Nehalem and Atom are also x86 processors. And a little bird tells us that Intel’s upcoming entry into the graphics market, Larrabee, is also based on a number of x86 cores.
