I notice that Core i3-330M is specified as “Embedded” while the Core i5-430 is not. What technically does “Embedded” mean?

Here is where I see the speicfication:
Embedded with CPUs means devices that are designed to be used within devices that may not appear to be computers. E.g. a television or a washing machine is an embedded system. In practice it tends to mean that the part has very low power (both power usage and computational power) and possibly otherwise limited resources. On the other hand, it may have more I/O capability and more integrated devices that other chips do.
In the case of the CPU you mention AFAIK the only differences are low power and using a different socket than desktop versions do.
