Also, we may not get 20nm GPU's late this year/early next year, TSMC is having issues, so probably end up with a 3rd Generation GPU on the old 28nm. :(
Looks like 2016 is when I do my next upgrade.

That's a bummer!

Seriously, I can understand that evry nod transition gets harder and harder, but TSMC has been horrible wrong in the last jumps. When they went from 55 to 40 there were troubles, the jump to 32 was so wrong that they simply skipped it altogether and went to 28, which also had is troubles and delays, and now going to 20nm it's the same story yet again!

The least they could have learned is to foresee this kind of unexpected problems and don't announce/sell it until it's f*cking ready!
