'''Core''' was the [[microarchitecture]] for [[Intel]]'s [[65 nm process]] for desktops and servers as a successor to {{\\|NetBurst}}. Core was replaced by the {{\\|Penryn}} microarchitecture in late 2008.

== Overview ==
When Core was introduced in 2006, Intel described it as a merger of both {{\\|P6}} and {{\\|NetBurst}}. When scrutinizing the details, it's fairly clear that little was actually borrowed from {{\\|NetBurst}}. In fact, it wasn't until Intel's entirely new microarchitecture {{\\|Sandy Bridge}} that a true merger presented itself.
