Quote - Core = 32 bit
Core 2 = 64 bit
Thank you that clears allot up for me. Woudln't you know techies would decide to confuse people by having "2"="64 bit" in thier lingo. Yes I do see that 64 is 2xs 32 and they probably no longer sell 16 bit processors,(.5 processors??) but core 64 would be the obvious choice for someon who says what they mean. (Of course then they would say what do you mean core 64? we don't have 2,048 bit processors yet!)
It is certainly a good idea if your intent is to confuse people. Espcially since they are now selling computers with 2 cpus that each have 2 cores. Why not refer to the "64 bit" as "2" as well?
