From where are the infos that AMD is working on a shrinked chipset? There are no 20nm GPUs on the Horizon where should they come from? 680 GTX 780 GTX 980 GTX all on the same process. 7980 290x 390x aswell clearly there is a huge problem at TSMC / GF. Who will produce this chipset? Intel? Nobody else can at the moment.

Suggests that TSMC were going to be the ones to manufacture it.

Well I do not doubt AMD designed a 20nm Xbox Apu. However I doubt that somebody is going to manufacture it if the news of the latest months are any indication: http://www.extremetech.com/computing/199101-amd-nvidia-both-skipping-20nm-gpus-as-tsmc-plans-massive-16b-fab-investment-report-says

I also doubt that the first 20nm product would be a console APU as the market is starving for a new manufacturing process for years already. If TSMC would manage to make it cost effective then we would probably see first 20nm GPUs. Since when do console chips have priority over everything else ?

The Xbox one can be shrunk down as its wasting obviously space. But I doubt a 20nm Chipsset for Consoles is coming anytime soon. Maybe we will not see it ever as 20nm planar just doesnt seem cost effective at all. So we might jump to 16nm FinFet directly.
