Lol. There seems to be a lot of confused/hopeful people in this thread.

I'm willing to bet $1000 that we don't get a 7nm Intel, AMD or Nvidia processor before 2020.....

Who's down?

I'd say 2019-20 seems very realistic...given how Samsung is already heading for 10nm.

But are they going to start using that 10nm process with their SoC or with their NAND?

SoC. Of course, it remains to be seen if they'll actually launch anything 10nm in 2016, as they've stated, or both this and TSMC announcments are, what some consider, "paper wars".

Honestly, I think we're almost out of the woods after this 28nm wall, so, IMO, mature 7nm around 19/20 for consoles seems realistic.

I think they'll go with NAND first.

With all my respect for Samsung, to whom I believe they are very capable (unlike TSMC that always promises more than what it can actually do), I think Intel is better in this regard, and if Intel is having problems more so Samsung.

That's why I think they'll go NAND first given that its less complex.
