Could you please differentiate between dual core, core2 duo, quad core, i3, i5, i7.....
and
differentiate between workstation(client, server, laptop,notebook, palmtop).....
 
this is wikipedia's page on intel's core brand
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Core
and intel's
http://www.intel.com/products/processors/previousgeneration/index.htm
you can find the info on current core processors on intel's site.
the basic differences between desktop and server processors are support for ecc ram and large amounts of them, hpc capable, cost etc.
laptop processors are usually less powerful than desktop versions but capable of running on batteries.
use google.
