It is an admission that things are approaching effects due to small numbers. IIRC, it claimed that something on the order of 100 ions relatively shallow in the channel set the threshold. So yes, that is getting down there. Still a long ways from being concerned with an individual atom. Did you see the 3D graph of ion distribution in the gate & channel (blue & red dots)? Moving any single atom in there is not going to do anything. Unfortunately, the article didn't provide any data on what variation is typical out of the implanters. Since both Intel & AMD buy these from 3'rd parties, I would not expect Intel to have any advantage over AMD in channel implanting.
