It's most certainly possible. Global Foundries and AMD would have learned a bit from Polaris (14nm is still new, power characteristics are still up in the air for the most part.) one would expect those lessons would translate towards improving AMD's Semi-Custom chips and Vega/Zen.
Would this be a likely outcome though? I can't really say without more information. But there are two ways to cut the tree down, throw more hardware at the problem... Or higher clocks.
nVidia this round went with higher clocks rather than more hardware this time around as the Geforce 980Ti is an 8~ Billion transister chip, the Geforce 1080 is only 7.2 Billion, but has a 60-70% higher clock.
