Seems Intel sells 40nm ethernet controllers. So I dont think that theory holds.

Lol ...
I guess it is doable if you can sell products for a high price like that. But for the normal low-cost market, I strongly doubt it.Recommended Customer Price TRAY: $149.79
But there is still the chance, that they didnt shrunk the PHY-part and just use 65nm sizes there. That would be something similar that GF and TSMC will do officially with their 14XM and 16nm processes, where the back and will be identical to 20mn.
