Do you really believe Intel pulled in Merom by 4-5 months with no change in the clock speeds or wattage? No, I believe Merom was always intended for Sept/Oct timeframe, and that it went back and forth, and is now set for September launch (Aug shipments). And cutting the FSB to 667 MHz to reduce power consumption will have an effect on IPC relative to desktop Core 2, so I wouldn't count on any IPC advantage over Turion X2 at all. Wishful thinking. (the latter statement) I expect that only the lowest speed grade or two (1.83 and 2 GHz), of the parts listed in your 3-month-old Dailytech article, will be available at launch, More wishful thinking.
