the last 90nm transistor = 1st 65 nm transistor Only in certain characteristics. And that (in addition to smaller intertransistor distances) is why your other statement: So by definition the current 65 nm process will not "clock any faster". is not true, in that it should be quite possible in theory for their first 65nm parts to be superior in many respects to the last 90nm parts. But this appears unlikely to be the case, given (as Dirk apparently confirmed) that the first 65nm parts will top out at 2.4GHz.
