Physical Implementation - Fabrication
Deep Submicron
High-frequency CMOS enables larger caches, prediction, and out-of-order structures.
CPU Exemplars With This Coordinate
ARCHITECTURAL_ESTIMATE
ARM7TDMI
1994 - arm
A compact RISC core where clean ISA structure, scalar pipeline, and low-power embedded use define the technology more than peak throughput.
ARCHITECTURAL_ESTIMATEMIPS R4000
1991 - mips
A 64-bit RISC workstation/server CPU that makes clean load-store design, deep pipelining, and cache hierarchy visible as technology choices.
VALIDATED_LIMITEDIntel Pentium Pro
1995 - intel
A hinge point for x86: instructions become internal uops, speculation becomes central, and the CPU starts behaving like a dynamic scheduling machine.
ARCHITECTURAL_ESTIMATEIntel Pentium 4 Northwood
2002 - intel
The deep-pipeline frequency wager: a CPU technology organized around high clocks, aggressive prediction, and large penalties for wrong futures.
