Mas, re: The mantra that 65nm is 'broken' ... will probably prove just as wrong.

Agree. Still 65nm won't bring that much more performance in the form of frequency increases though. The most important thing with this transition is that it will bring huge power savings per transistor and allow twice the amount of transistors. From only a slightly different angle AMD and others have explained that in general performance increase will come from effectively using more transistors to increase the amount of cores, the functionality of the cores, and improve the infrastructure for as far as that is regulated by on die silicon (instead of focussing on increasing the frequency). With K8L due summer '07 we have the perfect example of this.
