Transitions are a nasty thing, as they usually take time and Intel is not an exception. In Q4 2008 Intel still plans that 40 percent of its consumer CPUs will still be based on the obsolete 65nm production.

It will increase the output of 45nm dual-cores to 48 percent, while the quad-core 45nm will occupy 12 percent of total shipments, but there will be plenty other 65nm to ship around that time.

Intel does plan to stop the Quad-core 65nm and Core 2 duo 65nm parts, but Dual core Pentium E will remain available with 28 percent of the market share. Dual core Celeron E1000, Celeron 400 and Celeron 200 series will be represented with four percent each, with total market share of 12 percent.

You can imagine how tiny the Q4 Nehelem market presence will be, probably less than 1 percent of all CPUs.
