there already were rumors that development of a 20nm version was being completed in 2015 and seeing how both MS and Sony are highly interested in that shrink I think there's a good chance it's true
14/16nm process production is filled with high-margin chips, so I think going to 20nm first is a good decision (if it actually lowers the cost - 20nm GPUs never made it to the market because the process had low yields > didn't decrease production costs per chip at that time)
but the Taiwan earthquake affected TSMC quite a bit and production is reportedly delayed on many fronts, so 2017 is a safer bet for a slim version anyway
