Core is confusing. Of course it's a Core 2. It has 2 cores in it. Core 2 Quad? Obviously has 2 cores... oh wait, 4. i3/i5/i7 was reasonable except for lacking the generation number so people thought a 6th gen i3 was slower than a 1st gen i7 because 3 is less than 7. Nvidia seems to have model numbers figured out. Higher number is better, first half is generation and second half is relative position within it. At least if they didn't keep unfairly shifting the second half.
