This was not great either:

Also, we are instructed that the introduction at mature yields talk they give means that the number of good chips they get off a 65 nanometre wafer exceeds that of a 90 nanometre wafer.

Since both are built on 12 inch wafers, or 300mm as this size is called in Europe, the 33% or so shrink means that AMD will get lower yield as a percentage of dice but it is a net gain in terms of components.
