Processor identification not correct?

Hello,

I have a simple question. My processor model is Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4210U CPU @ 1.70GHz.

According to http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/processor-numbers.html http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/processor-numbers.html this is a 4th Gen processor,

but the Intel Driver Update Utility says I have 3rd Gen.

Can I get some clarification about this? It's confusing me about which drivers I need to install.

Thanks.
