The origin of the 130 nm value is historical, as it reflects a trend of 70% scaling every 2-3 years. The naming is formally determined by the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS). hosted by Sematech.

Some of the first CPUs manufactured with this process include Intel Tualatin family of Pentium III processors.
