    Welcome to NBR,

    Its the same.
    Intel® Centrino® Duo mobile technology is the Processor Family/Intel Brand and Intel® Core™ Duo processor T2250 is the Processor Name.

    Specifically "Centrino" refers to the entire mobile platform (the CPU, chipset, wireless network):

    You can see a rundown of the various codenames for the different Centrino platforms there as well.
