"So the fab 36 product to be shipped in December will have 1/2 the die area compared to what it is now ?" About. It isn't going to be quite half because not everything is going to scale down. Some things might have a wider spacing due to thermal reasons. Others can't scale because they need to provide the same drive current. Finally, some things can't be routed that tightly, although with 11 metal layers that shouldn't be a problem.
