Evolution in Fabrication
As time progressed, the process used to fabricate the Pentium Pro processor die and its separate cache memory die changed, leading to a combination of processes used in the same package:
- The 133 MHz Pentium Pro prototype processor die was fabricated in a 0.6 µm BiCMOS process.
- The 150 MHz Pentium Pro processor die was fabricated in a 0.50 µm BiCMOS process.
- The 166, 180, and 200 MHz Pentium Pro processor die was fabricated in a 0.35 µm BiCMOS process.
- The 256 KiB L2 cache die was fabricated in a 0.50 µm BiCMOS process.
- The 512 and 1024 KiB L2 cache die was fabricated in a 0.35 µm BiCMOS process.

Famous quotes containing the words evolution and/or fabrication:
“The more specific idea of evolution now reached is—a change from an indefinite, incoherent homogeneity to a definite, coherent heterogeneity, accompanying the dissipation of motion and integration of matter.”
—Herbert Spencer (1820–1903)
“Capitalism is an art form, an Apollonian fabrication to rival nature. It is hypocritical for feminists and intellectuals to enjoy the pleasures and conveniences of capitalism while sneering at it.... Everyone born into capitalism has incurred a debt to it. Give Caesar his due.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
