How do I know if my CPU is Sandy Bridge or Ivy Bridge?

Find the processor here http://ark.intel.com/ and check to see if is 32nm or 22nm. If it is 22nm it is a 3rd generation Intel® Core™ processor. If it is 32nm it is going to be a 1st or 2nd generation Intel Core processor. So if its 22 its a ivy bridge and if its a 32 its going to be a sandy bridge?
