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:
“Like Freud, Jung believes that the human mind contains archaic remnants, residues of the long history and evolution of mankind. In the unconscious, primordial “universally human images” lie dormant. Those primordial images are the most ancient, universal and “deep” thoughts of mankind. Since they embody feelings as much as thought, they are properly “thought feelings.” Where Freud postulates a mass psyche, Jung postulates a collective psyche.”
—Patrick Mullahy (b. 1912)
“What preoccupies us, then, is not God as a fact of nature, but as a fabrication useful for a God-fearing society. God himself becomes not a power but an image.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
