AFAIK, Core 2 Quads have numbers starting with a "Q" followed by four digits. E.g. Q6400. In addition some of the lower end processors of this type start with an "S". But there is no Intel processor i know of that starts with an "N" (as in the picture).
The no. on your picture is probably some serial number.
No, the picture is for reference i used from google images.
I am talking about the number that begins with 'N' and the other figures underneath that. There is a special name for this code. I do know the (As an example) the 0A is the revision number, but need to know what the rest is called.

Out of curiosity, I googled for Intel FPO code and this is the result.
But no sign of any N. Also, as per this scheme the particular piece would be manufactured in the 82nd week of 2003!!??HOWTO: Read an Intel CPU FPO/Batch Code
Example: L707A723 ---
1st letter or digit = plant code: (Malaysia)
0 = San Jose, Costa Rica
1 = Cavite, Philippines
3 = Costa Rica
6 = Chandler, Arizona
7 = Philippines
8 = Leixlip, Ireland
9 = Penang, Malaysia
L = Malaysia
Q = Malaysia
R = Manila, Philippines
Y = Leixlip, Ireland
2nd digit = Year of production: (2007)
3rd & 4th digits = week: (7th week )
5th - 8th digits= lot number: (723)
10th - 13th digits = serialization code (---)
