http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/535Your CPU (Processor), and the ones listed; are based on the Sandy Bridge architecture.
The Nehalem architecture started the ball rolling.
The Sandy Bridge architecture is evolved from it.
NanoMeter - 1 Billionth of a Meter
Abbreviated as nm.
Architectural size went from 135nm, from Processors back in the old days; to 22nm now.
