Intel confirms Core 2 Duo rollout
Intel said it has over 550 customer system designs underway, with the CPUs built on 65 nanometre technology.
Five of the family are aimed for desktops, five for notebook and mobile users. The products were formally codenamed "Cointreau" and "Merom".
The chips support 64-32 instructions, so called smart cache which shares L2 cache, wide dynamic execution, and instructions that speed up multimedia transactions.
The mobile chips have a better version of Speedstep, a method for powering down the processor to increase battery life, and other power saving devices.

Machines using the desktop chips will be available in early August, said Intel, while notebooks will become available at the end of that month.
The "Cointreau" chips clock from 2.93GHz down to 1.86GHz, all using a 1066MHz system bus, and with L2 caches of 4MB for the higher clocked chips and 2MB for the lower clocked chips.
The "Merom" chips clock from 2.33GHz down to 1.66GHz with bus speeds of 667MHz and cache of either 4MB or 2MB for the two lowest SKUs (stock keeping units). ยต
