That CPU is the current (latest) generation. As for which generation.... well, there are so many:

Intel x86 CPU Generations:

1 - 8088 (IBM PC)
2 - 8086 (IBM XT)
3 - 80186 (Burroughs/UniSys ICON)
4 - 80286 (IBM AT)
5 - 80386
6 - 80486
7 - Pentium
8 - Pentium II
9 - Pentium III
10 - Pentium 4 (Prescott/Conroe/Wolfdale)
11 - Core 2
12 - i7-9xx (Nehalem)
13 - i5-8xx
14 - i7-2xxx (Sandy Bridge)
15 - i7-3xxx (Sandy Bridge-E)
16 - i7-4xxx (Ivy Bridge)

I guess that makes it 16th generation Intel. LOL
