>> A large part of the problem is that the exact state individual atoms are in at the time of processing starts to make a difference. So that needs to be compensated for in later processing steps.

That implies it is possible to measure the condition of the atom sites where the (random ?) variation can occur, in order to adjust subsequent steps. If that is what they actually do, it is an impressive achievement for AMD.

edit. This article looks relevant to the subject of sub-70nm processing.
