i dont think there is one
correct me if im wrong but isnt it all i7 series is nehalem architecture and the 920 is bloomfield

 

i7 920 is Bloomfield.

 

I remember when the i7 920 was labeled Nehalem. I hope an i7 expert can come in here and clear this up, but my best guess might be that the nehalem was the C0 and the Bloomfield is the D0?

Could be totally wrong and probably am so please correct me on this.

All i7 9xx series are Bloomfield except the i7 980x which is Gulftown
All i7 8xx and i5 7xx are Lynnfield
All i5 6xx and i3 5xx are Clarkdale

 

Nehalem is the codename for the overall architecture (e.g. the successor to the Core series). Bloomfield is just the name for the current line of i7 chips which implement the Nehalem microarchitecture.

 

EDIT: Beat me to it^^

IIRC, Nehalem is just some big, over-arching name for the achitecture. Bloomfield is the specific chip name.

 

So I own a Bloomfield Xeon or Nehalem Xeon? LOL

 

I'm with ya and judging by everyones clocks and what not the 920 seems to be the one to go with, out of the i7's ?
