You are referring to the current naming scheme of the Intel chips.
The 3xx series are the Celeron's and lower power processors. The 5xx series are the normal desktop processors and the 7xx series were the Intel Centrino processors for laptops. The 6xx series introduced 64-bit computing and the 8xx series introduced dual-core processing.
AMD is continuing their name scheme even with their dual-core chips, which are going to be released at 4200+, 4400+, 4600+, and 4800+ for the most expensive dualcore chip. The 4200+ and 4400+ run at the same clock speed but the latter has twice as much L2 cache. The same goes for the 4600+ and 4800+.
