How to find microarchitecture given the CPU name?

3

How do I find out the microarchitecture of a processor if I know its name?

For example, if I find that someone I'm trying to help says he has a Intel i7 960 3.2GHz CPU, I want to find out what is the microarchitecture (like Sandy Bridge, Haswell etc.) of that processor. It can be found by a bit of Googling, but I'm looking for a comprehensive list or a tool that gives me this information for any CPU.
