So if the Snapdragon and Hummingbird have a 45nm die size now and the 1.2, 1.5 or 2.0 chips have a smaller die size it should use less power...

We already know that the 1.5 and the 1.2 are going to be 45nm....
The only chip know right now that is lower being 32nm is the Intel Medfield which they plan to release in 2011 for their Meego devices (new open competitor to android started by Intel and Nokia)
Edit:
Also forgot to mention Snapdragon now is 65nm..Hummingbird is 45nm (thus the energy efficiency increase)
Also the above 2 are based on Cortex A8 where Cortex A9 will also offer some battery saving..
