What is the difference between Tournedos and Filet Mignon?

https://highlandsranchfoodie.com/beef-tournedos-steak/#:~:text=Filet Mignons are the three,steaks are usually cut thicker.

 

Tournedo is cut from small end of tenderloin, filet mignon is center cut.  My understanding as well.

One is a force of nature, the other comes from a cow.

So, I'll have to sharpen my butcher knife,  On the tenderloin of beef, the large end is chateaubriand, then the middle cuts are the filet mignon, and the small tip the tournedos?
