    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.

    It's the FPO/batch code of the specific processor.

    Out of curiosity, I googled for Intel FPO code and this is the result.

    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 (---)
    But no sign of any N. Also, as per this scheme the particular piece would be manufactured in the 82nd week of 2003!!??
