Yorkfield might be Core 2 Extreme and even Core 2 Quad, but not Core 2 Duo.

Yorkfield is the MCM version of the dual core Wolfdale, so it's a quad core CPU.

I never said it was a Core 2 Duo

With Yorkfield, Intel differentiates the Core 2 Extreme and Core 2 Duo models by the front-side bus speed. Intel Core 2 Extreme Yorkfield processors will have a 1333 MHz front-side bus, continuing on where the Kentsfield Core 2 Extreme QX6850 leaves off. The quad-core processor supports Intel VT, Enhanced Intel SpeedStep and Intel 64 and Execute Disable Bit technologies. Intel leaves TXT technology out of the 45nm Core 2 Extreme however.

Sorry then mate, I assume I misunderstood the text.

Not a problem. You had me worried though for a minute...
