5 to 1 is silly as a figure for a transition in a very short time frame but as a figure for the change from current Fab 30 production to production on the new fab after the shrink its a reasonable figure. The new fab is ramping on 90nm but most of the chips AMD makes now are on the old fab with smaller wafers and 90nm, and the new fab will be converted to 65nm.

Of course the average cores per chip will increase, and even with other changes that increase density AMD won't be producing 5 times as many chips. Maybe 5 times as many cores.
