Well, for many years Intel has dominated the market of processors like its "pentium" brand. Recently AMD has come out with it's AMD64 processor series, running on 64 bits, that is generally much faster in the execution of applications than any of the Intel processors. Intel losing their "edge" on the market quickly tried to counter the new AMD64 by sending out it's Core 2series that include "dual-core"(desktops) and "duo"(laptops) processors. These boast of two processors working at once that allow applications to run "twice" as fast.
Bottom line: It's Intel's scramble to keep hold of the market and they are trying to do this through: 1. Newer faster models 2. Massive advertising schemes
