Xeon 3400-series processors based on Lynnfield fill the gap between the previous 3300-series "Yorkfield" processors and the newer 3500-series "Bloomfield". Like Bloomfield, they are quad-core single-package processors based on the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nehalem_(microarchitecture) Nehalem microarchitecture, but were introduced almost a year later, in September 2009. The same processors are marketed for mid-range to high-end desktops systems as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Core_i5 Core i5 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Core_i7 Core i7. They have two integrated memory channels as well as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI_Express PCI Express and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_Media_Interface Direct Media Interface links, but no http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QuickPath QuickPathInterface.

So Intel Xenon 3400 series processors are ame processors are marketed for mid-range to high-end desktops systems as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Core_i5 Core i5 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Core_i7 Core i7. ??

Here you can see a comparison of all Lynnfield processors:

You'll see that key difference between a Xeon and Core i5/i7 processor is support for ECC memory, as Xeon is targeted for servers.
