I have heard about gen of processor like 3rd and 4th gen but actually what is meant by gen of processor and what is the difference in gen of processors.

A Tick Advances Manufacturing Technology
With every "tick" cycle, look for Intel to advance manufacturing process technology and continue to deliver the expected benefits of Moore’s Law to users. The typical increase in transistor density enables new capabilities, higher performance levels, and greater energy efficiency—all within a smaller, more capable version of the previous “tock” microarchitecture.

For example, a “tick” coincided with the Intel introduction of 3D tri-gate transistors with the 22 nm manufacturing process technology. This new technology delivers better performance and extends the battery life of smartphones, tablets, and the new, incredibly slim Ultrabook™ devices.

A Tock Delivers New Microarchitecture
In alternating “tock” cycles, expect Intel to use the previous “tick” cycle’s manufacturing process technologies to introduce the next big innovation in processor microarchitecture. Intel® microarchitecture advancements seek to improve energy efficiency and performance as well as functionality and density of features such as hardware-supported video transcoding, encryption/decryption, and other integrated capabilities.
