Wbmw, re:So you're saying that AMD is going to retrofit this technology at 90nm?

Exactly right. Here's one snippet (not the best one but it'll do). I did see several though. IBM is set to use it directly with 65nm produced soon, while AMD will use it first in 90nm:

Andy Wei, a member of the technical staff based at AMD Dresden, described a new process that AMD will first retrofit [SiGe] into its 90-nm microprocessors, and then use it in its 65-nm designs going into production in the second half of next year at AMD’s new 300-mm fab in Dresden. http://www.eetimes.com/news/semi/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=174901200
