How do I know which processor a laptop has inside it?

[mocolief]

I mean, how can I tell if my laptop has an Ivy Bridge/Sandy Bridge/Haswell processor? Also, is there a tool that I can use for doing that (in Windows, per say)?

or you can go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\System
processor item in the system info will have a cpu model number, google for that

Go to my computer
open system properties
And you will your processor.
If you want detail information try Cpuz or google it.

See the specs of yor laptop,note the model no of your cpu,say- 4200u,search on wikipedia adn you'll get answer as haswell,otherwise the first digit of model no defines its architecture name
