Today marks a full 10 years since the first Core 2 Duo processors, and hence Intel?s 64-bit Core microarchitecture, were made officially available at retail. These included a number of popular dual-core processor parts, including the seemingly ubiquitous E6400 and the Core 2 Extreme X6800. These were built on Intel?s 65nm process, and marked a turning point in the desktop processor ecosystem. To quote Anand in our launch review: ?you?re looking at the most impressive piece of silicon the world has ever seen?.
