Freescale to move to 65nm

While the transition from 130nm to 90nm was not painless for chips founders (including Intel), the next migration from 90 to 65nm seems to be rather straight forward.
TSMC, one of the biggest Taiwanese chips-on-demand founder, has started producing processor prototypes with 65nm engraving technology.
In a first step, this process will allow to increase the number of transistors, and only later it should also translate into higher clocked processors
Freescale should be the first customers of TSMC to use 65nm produced processors, but it is rather unlikely that we will see them anytime in a Mac; when such processors will be available in mass production, Intel will probably have found its way in all Apple computers models.
