How to determine AMD and Intel processor lineups

[chuckk281]

Do you ever get confused like I do on what the heck do the Intel and AMD processor numbers mean, and is there some sort of comparison? Well, here is a site on AMD that makes some sense of them and tries to line them up. Take a look at: http://www.amd.com/modelnumbercomparison

Nice comparison sheet, thank you for posting. What would REALLY help is some document like this that also included Barcelona and Shanghai information so you could see which model numbers were Shanghai, etc. For example, there is no way to look at the QuickSpecs for the Blades and know which bin speeds / models are Shanghai. Thanks!

Just found out the models for Shanghai, fairly easy...837x and 838x are all Shanghai. Hope this helps...
