How long does Intel produce prior-gen parts in their fabs?

I'm not sure that they afford to do that anytime soon, western world economy is about to bankrupt in no time.

Debt never stops western governments.

The trend is, economic ruin, hyperinflation, invade neighboring countries.

Been this way since pre-roman times in western civilization.

Not sure why you place emphasis on "western" governments and civilizations. The cycle you discuss is endemic to humans on every continent as far back as written history can take us.

Eastern governments and civilizations go slightly different approach.

economic ruin, hyperinflation, revolution (the real kind with people dieing and being replaced), invading neighboring countries being a more optional continuation than western civilization.

Real revolutions with people in charge being deadified tends to lessen the zeal to hyper-inflate and stay, usually makes it hyper-inflate and run to another country, making their influence less lasting after the government change.

This can easily be seen reflected since ancient Chinese and Indian civilizations.

It was essentially the same previously as well. 65nm and (some)45nm CPUs using 130nm chipsets.

5, 6 and 7 series chipsets is 65nm. 8 and 9 series will be 32nm.

You reckon Skylake will use 22nm for chipset, if it's going to require one?

Well that would be a guess on both parts so to say. But if it needs a chipset, I think it will be on 32nm and not 22nm.

i though they still produce 386s for military or nasa

Within sandy bridge architecture, there are total 123 CPUs, 51 desktop and 72 mobile within 10 model ranges, but there are only 3 die sizes the 131mm², 149mm² and 216mm². Which means they are making dual cores natively but probably only highest CPU for dual core and quad core line and the rest are defective and downgraded ones. Only desktop i3 and i7 are being made natively, the i3 is on both 131 and 149 and i7 on 216mm² die.
The desktop i5 and mobile quad core i7 are made from desktop i7 node, the mobile i5, mobile dual core i7, mobile i3, i5-2390T and both desktop and mobile celerons and pentiums are made from both of desktop i3 nodes.

You're quite right. Ivy Bridge has four dies though.

Ivy Bridge M 2 - P0 - 94mm2 - 2 Cores/6EUs/3MB L3
Ivy Bridge H 2 - L0 - 118mm2 - 2 Cores/16EUs/4MB L3
Ivy Bridge HM 4 - N0 - 133mm2 - 4 Cores/6EUs/6MB L3
Ivy Bridge HE 4 - E0 - 160mm2 - 4 Cores/16EUs/8MB L3
