CafeSuaDa..Core Duo processors are LAPTOP processors they do not have 64bit instructions and honestly I will tell you that we won't need that crap for a while. The hardware itself doesn't support more then 4gb of memory in laptops anyways, so 64bit doesn't mean much.
Desktop versions of all new Intel processors indeed are 64bit. So don't listen to Chunkfield, the dude doesn't know what he's talking about.
The new Intel Core processors (that's what we are talking about) come in 3 variations Merom, Conroe and desktop XE version of Conroe.
Some benchmarks that were confirmed by Anandtech crew from March 2006 Developer conference show the real difference:
