Intel CPU nomenclature

Geezz....its gotten to the point that you have no idea what you are looking at anymore when you try to translate the CPU nomenclature into CPU performance. All this Pentium D 8XX/9XX, Pentium 4 5XX crap. All this translates to what?...confusion. So lets have it guys, a link to a no brainer chart that converts all this to CPU performance ratings. Ah..I long for the days of something like PIII 833...not hard to understand that its a 833 Mhz processor. AMD isn't off the hook either, but at least they give you a equivalent performance number that gives you a basic understanding of what you are getting.
 
Hi Deathwalker. I guess the answer to my post yesterday entitled 'Updated CPU Cheatsheet?' would be what you are after too, providing it has the new Intel nomenclature added.
Unfortunately there are no replies yet 🙁 - Still time, I guess!
Come on guys, how many of us can remember all this stuff without a (correct & accurate) table or two?
 
The more numbers that make no sense there are, the more money they can suck from us...

It's the same as with video cards. Confusion for teh win...or so they seem to think...
 
meh, don't get caught up in all the stupid numbers, jsut look at the benchmarks. It doesn't really matter how much cache, or how high a clockspeed, or which instruction sets a processor has, all that matters is how it runs the programs you need it to run.
 
Or if you want the best performance or bang/buck, buy AMD right now. Intel still is in the dumper for both.
