No one would doubt that Intel's Core 2 Duo is perhaps one of the most hyped and anticipated processor launches since the K8. The processor, expected to start shipping on July 23, 2006, is Intel's first major transition in desktop microarchitecture since the Willamette core was introduced in 2000.

Conroe and its derivatives are a step away from Intel's former flagship NetBurst, but even these processors are a bit of a dying breed: during Intel's shift to 45nm, the company will no longer focus on derived microprocessor cores in favor of refined unified core architectures. For example, in 2007 Intel is expected to release Allendale, a dual core Conroe-based processor with only 2MB of L2 cache. From what Intel has stated from forward looking statements and roadmaps, this sort of practice will stop.

Allendale is launching July 27th, just like the rest of Core 2. Not next year like the article says.
