That's more 2016.  AMD said they are going to use the 20nm now on consoles first.

Well, that would coincide nicely with a PS4 slim reveal next year.

This is getting into more complicated PC hardware territory, but should be mentioned that Samsung's 14nm isn't true 14nm.  It is 20nm with Finfets, and only Intel has true 14nm right now.

For the purposes of the type of silicon the consoles would use, 20nm is just about as good as 14nm FF.  If I had to guess Sony/MS will switch to 20nm this year, and then 10nm for the super-slims 3 years from now.  Those will probably be the final models as well since the PS5 will be right around the corner.
