Bob,

There is no difference between the last 90nm transistor and the first 65nm transistor. That is what AMD has been saying for a couple years.

That may be true, but metal layers stay the same. It is not until those shrink, that the chips will shrink.

With X2 percentage growing, AMD needs to shrink their die size for capacity and cost reasons.
