Correction, Intel has already fab’d a 32nm test chip.

IBM Builds Nanotube Chip
Red Herring | 3/23/06

[snip] Creating carbon nanotube transistors has been done before, but figuring out a reliable way to assemble them to form an IC has stumped many bright minds. Wiring together transistors developed from a single carbon nanotube is an even more difficult task. But the IBM research team did it. With an 18-micron long carbon nanotube, the scientists built a 10-transistor ring oscillator, a device typically constructed to test new manufacturing technologies or materials. Using one instead of many carbon nanotubes to build an IC reduces the manufacturing steps and therefore cost. [end]

Intel has begun production of 45nm chips (see other topic, to be linked below).

And that means they've already started design on their 32nm chips. From what I've read on how it works at Intel, this 45nm run is the previous generation design shrunk. While one team was trying to get the 65nm design to work at 45nm, they passed all they learned to another team working on the next-generation architecture at 45nm so they can concentrate more on design instead of the physics problems of a smaller process. This whole thing cycles for each die shrink.

But what that means is the guys who designed the 45nm current-gen are probably working on trying to get the current state of next-gen to work on 32nm. And the Japanese aren't starting work until 2008? They're behind already.
