re: It was assumed that saving from going to .13 um would be on the order of 50%
Going to smaller manufacturing may be a non-adder here. The reason is because smaller processes usually come with new product generations, and Moore's Law says that the number of transistors will double every 18 months. With manufacturing getting smaller enough to compensate every 24 months, you might notice the two effects canceling each other out. Moving to larger wafer sizes allows Intel to cut costs beyond the regular moves to smaller manufacturing.
