New Rendering Engine, Core 2

In the year 2000, we got "Elektra" for Opera 4 to 6, three years later, we got "Presto" for Opera 7 to 8, another three years later in 2006, we got Opera 9, whose rendering engine was to be still Presto, but there seems to be a new name, at least inside OperaASA. That's "Core 2", from Davis's blog entry for Dimension.
Though Merlin, Kestrel or Peregrine are code for browser inside the company, core 2 is a code name for the rendering engine, the heart of browsers. I suppose after three years' workings, the retirement, or big refinements of Presto engine is fit for the needs of market. Thanks Presto. It's time for the next generations!
This is not the first mention of core 2, for the open public. I've heard of/seen its name few weeks ago at the conference, which I blogged earlier here.
We already have it, core 2, for comparatively long time though
Mini 4 has been upgraded to the Kestrel codepath of Core-2, the same engine found in The Internet Channel for Wii
