The Intel Core Duo is not the Intel Core 2 Duo

I think you're mistaking the Intel Core Duo for what Intel
announced today, the Intel Core 2 Duo (note the 2). From
what I can find, nothing is actually shipping with the Intel Core 2
Duo.

This from the Apple Insider website:

In a formal announcement, the world's largest chip maker said,
"More than 200 Intel Centrino Duo mobile technology-based
designs from PC manufacturers, resellers and integrators around
the world will incorporate the new Intel Core 2 Duo processor
(formerly codenamed "Merom") this year."

Notebook makers including Dell, Toshiba and Alienware
immediately issued press releases touting their own Core 2 Duo
notebook designs. However, most systems are not immediately
available.

While Dell said customers can begin to place orders for certain
of its XPS and Inspiron notebook models, checks with the
company's online store reveal preliminary ship dates of
September 19th for all models.
