Once the fab is complete it takes a while to bring up a new process, but not as long to 'copy exactly' 90nm, as it were. Fab36 is due to be producing samples in H105, I believe, so if they wanted some extra 90nm in mid-05, I would think it would be doable.
Is 65nm going to be that easy or is that 2 years away...what is the cost benefit of switching to 65nm production...unless the costs are less whats the point if the market can only absorb 50 million processors per quarter...I think Intel sees the writing on the wall...unless of course they start making other processors...i.e. video...sound...
