When you say such processor is manufactured using 65/90/130 nm process, which component are you talking about?? Im pretty much sure is not transistor gate length (which is smaller then that, ain't it??)...

"The 90-nanometer designation refers to the width of the smallest circuit lines on the chip. The actual features on 90-nanometer chips can be quite smaller, down to around 45 nanometers for some of the smallest structures on Intel's chips, said Risto Puhakka, vice president of VLSI Research Inc. in Santa Clara, California, in an e-mail interview."
