My question the " CPU Intel Xeon(TM) 3.20GHZ " what is his location between those CPUs
example it's better then core 2 duo but not better then Core I3

10x
 
Solution
xeon is a brand for server cpu

it has its own generation, deferentiated by number
xeon has 2 core, 4 core, 6 core family
for example : Intel Xeon E3-1230 V2 is current generation xeon, 4 core and 8 thread as well as i7

That Xeon is the LGA2011 socket, It is a sandy bridge server processor.

Like i showed you before in your previous question about the Atom, where as the atom is the low power consumption designed for ultra portables, this xeon is a chip designed for server application.

It is inline roughly with the i7 but is optimized for server workloads and is not generally used for home computing.

Edit: Ah, AMD beat me to it :)
