600 nanometer

The 600 nanometer (600 nm or 0.6 µm) process refers to the level of semiconductor process technology that was reached in the 1994-1995 timeframe, by most leading semiconductor companies, like Intel and IBM.

Products featuring 0.6 µm manufacturing process

• Intel 80486DX4 CPU launched in 1994 was manufactured using this process.
• IBM/Motorola PowerPC 601, the first PowerPC chip, was produced in 0.6 µm.
• First Intel Pentium CPUs at 60Mhz and 66Mhz were also manufactured using this process.
