This is from the Intel site. While it doesn't explain what each actual number means, it it a description of the terminology. Perhaps if you dig around the site, you can find your specific processor.

Family Message
This classification indicates the Intel processor generation and brand. (For example, the PentiumŪ III processor is a sixth generation processor.)
Model Message
The "model" number identifies to Intel the processor's manufacturing technology and design generation. This information is occasionally needed when communicating with Intel to determine the processor's internal designation.
Stepping Message
The "stepping" number indicates design or manufacturing revision data for production Intel processors. This classification may be needed by Intel in determining the processor's internal design or manufacturing characteristics.

I think of them as version numbers. :)
