Cool, thanks for that. I wonder how much power savings they would get from shrinking to 14nm/16nm.

This was may 2015, in 18 months the power consumption is either cut down in half, of performance is doubled. Basically you could expect NX handheld fall 2017, that would realistically mean the same performance on roughly 5watts...

You think going from 20nm -> 16nm FinFET will cut power usage from 20watts down to 5watts?

Thats pretty optimistic.
