Furthermore, the "capacity gains from going to 65nm" seem to be limited, even in the ideal case, due to the die being nearly 70% the size of the 90nm equivalent.

But with AMD defining "mature 65nm yields" as getting at least as many good die from a 300mm wafer as they do with 90nm (instead of the ideal of having an equivalent, mature *fraction* of good die per wafer), it is unclear that there is ANY capacity gain AT ALL right now, relative to 90nm on 300mm wafers.
