"Dual Core" is a generic term for a chip that has two cpu's in it.

Meanwhile, Intel uses the term "Intel Core" as the brand name for a family of chips. They revised it and now there is another brand name for a new family of chips called "Core 2". Core 2 chips come with one, two or four cores, so we have Core 2 Solo, Core 2 Dual, and Core 2 Quad. And all of these are Intel brand names. It's a good chip, but it's a terrible brand name.
