BMW, Thread, Re : "Many believed that AMD was narrowing their gate lengths on their .18u process up to and past the levels of .13u"

I can understand that this hybrid can catch upto AMD only if either :
1. They will no longer be able to do that in future (why can't they mix .13 interconnect with .09 gate in their .13 process coming out soon) ?
or
2. Intel starts doing what AMD is doing and get a half step ahead from where they currently are.

I would appreciate some insight from a 'process' guy/girl on why AMD is able to do the hybrid process and Intel is not (or has not) ? If Intel were able to do that, wouldn't that have prevented the performance crown AMD got last year (briefly) with Athlon ?

Thanks.
Maui
