Which generation is my intel processor?

I've seen that the Intel processor i7 is still being produced nowadays. But I've read that it is 8th generation. I'm curious where can I find the generation of the Intel processor of my MacBook Pro 17' mid-2010?

(Model Identifier: MacBookPro6,1)


Many thanks!

The MacBook Pro "Core i7" 2.8 17-Inch (Mid-2010) is powered by a 32 nm, dual-core 2.8 GHz Intel "Core i7" I7-640M (Arrandale) processor, with dedicated 256k level 2 cache for each core and an 3 MB shared level 3 cache. This system also supports "Turbo Boost" -- which "automatically boosts the processor speed based on workload" -- and "Hyper Threading" -- which allows the system to recognize four "virtual cores" or "threads."
