^^ IMO thats 3rd gen.i5. There is a 3rd gen. i7 available @ flipkart. Its model is i7-3xxx.
So, might be this too is a 3rd gen. one.

LOL dont you know about Ivy Bridge.
Intel Slides Officially Detail 3rd Generation Ivy Bridge Processors Architecture, Launch Dates and Performance Estimates versus i7 2600K

I very well know about that but I was shocked on mobile Ivys which are still not out AFAIK.
