If you have no idea what is Nehalem and Westmere .

Nehalem is the codename for an Intel processor microarchitecture, successor to the Core microarchitecture.Westmere (formerly Nehalem-C) is the name given to the 32 nm die shrink of Nehalem. The first Westmere-based processors were launched on January 7, 2010 and branded as members of the Core i3, Core i5, and dual-core mobile Core i7 families.(wiki)

For you information,you should forget about the model that listed on top of the table,there are hi- end CPU which is so fast ,faster that you can imagine, if your propose is just upgrade your PC speed ,buying those expense toy might not value for money,you might need to buy other related hardware to match the performance of the top speed CPU.My opinion is,Intel Core i3 serials is more that enough for most desktop task like video editing,surfing,etc.
