I don't know what the technical differences are ... I lost the plot with Intel cpu's a while back. All I know is that Intel CPU's work fine, AMD suck (I always get problems with them) and I just killed my DELL Server (which was an Intel Xeon)

The chart link I posted to Darwinian is the only clue I have to performance which kinda falls in line with what you're saying.
