"There is no difference between the last 90nm transistor and the first 65nm transistor."

Yes, while the characteristics of the individual transistor, eg; gate length evolves, the die size remains the same till the over all footprint change, generation transition.

The transistor evolution eases the transition.

According to my limited understanding, the measure, relates to "wire width", eg' 90 - 65nm. Where "wire width" is the metal circuitry burnished into the etched si.

Thats my interpretation. I sure don't mean to condescend and you probably know more on this subject than me. Just for the readers out there.
