386: 32-Bit and Cache Memory
Intel’s 80836 was the first x86 with a 32-bit architecture. Several versions of this processor were offered. The two best known are the 386 SX (Single-word eXternal), which had a 16-bit data bus, and the 386 DX (Double-word eXternal) with a 32-bit data bus. Two other versions are worth noting, though: the SL, which was the first x86 to offer management of a cache (external) and the 386EX, used in the space program (the Hubble telescope uses this processor).

Looking forward to the AMD article.
Core 2 Quad, has 4 cores and Core Solo has 1 core.
Yes there is a singal core,

Ok it is not under the same branding but it is part of the same microarchitecture
Thanks for the heads-up! I tweaked that passage to better represent the Core 2 architecture's available configurations!
ArticleThere are many versions of the architecture, resulting in configurations with a different number of cores
There is no mention of the branding, so there is no actual error there, just misinterpretation.

Yes, it isn't called a "Core 2 Duo," but it uses the Core architecture and only has a single core enabled.
But I will have to say, there aren't any 3 core models...
