Generation is a terrible metric.

The 4060 and 4090 are the same generation but drastically different fidelity.

The 3090 is on older generation than the 4060, yet the 3090 wipes the floor with the 4060. Generation doesn't mean what is used too.

The 4060 *is* a newer generation, just a tiny chip that doesn't deserve its xx60 series name. 

New architectures with a full portfolio will always include these tiny entry-level GPUs. The GT 430 from 2010, for instance, which is just a bit smaller than the 4060, was slower than the 9600 GT (which in turn was already slower than the GTX 8800 from 2006) but still two generations ahead.
