Constantine, Dan3 found an article suggesting that the Pentium 4 gate lengths were approaching 90nm. I don't know if this is true or not, but if it is, that still gives Intel headroom on their .13u process.

As for AMD shrinking their gates further before going to .09u, I don't doubt it. As soon as AMD has some good test wafers available using the newer lithography, they will rush some production wafers and make a low volume stealth launch. Several vendors will start to offer it on Pricewatch, even though you won't see it from a major OEM for several months. The AMDroids will then go crazy and predict the next APOCALYPSE for Intel. It's as inevitable as the sun rising.
