Thanks for clearing that up!

We can both thank Intel for the confusing model numbers. It gets worse:
Some Core i5 processors - like the Core i5-660 in the OP's post - are
Clarkdale processors, while the Core i5-750 is a Lynnfield processor.

And worse: Nehalem is actually the name of the micro-architecture
(internal design) for the Core i7-9xx series of processors. The first
processors built on the Nehalem architecture - including the Core i7-920
- are known as the Bloomfield processors.

All of which proves one point: I am reading /way/ too much of Anandtech
and Tom's Guide, and need to give it a rest for a while. ;-)
