"Now, we're not going to pretend to be experts in NAND fabrication, but we fail to see how 56-nm technology produces a higher density than Sammy's 50-nm processes."
A larger (56nm) production method can be offset by packaging - different methods of chip stacking, interconnects, etc. Obviously, the 50nm tech can still have a higher theoretical density, but only if you can package it correctly.
