AMD Creates First 45nm Chips, Says Manufacturing Chief

We'll still have to wait until 2008, but AMD has 45nm in-house working:

"The new chief of manufacturing at Advanced Micro Devices said the company has already made first test chips using 45nm process technology, however, he said the new fabrication process still does not employ high-k dielectrics and similar innovations that IBM and AMD developed collaboratively. The new technologies, however, may still be a focus for AMD, the new production chief joined AMD from IBM.

Last time I checked intel had already produced a 45 nm CPU that was stable enough to install windows with the first batch...
....which are due this year

Intel planned to have 45nm chips released this year, so that is to be expected they already have working silicon. I think it's bigger news that AMD already has 45nm chips working when they are planned for next year.
