AMD spinoff Globalfoundries is speeding up development and it plans to offer 20nm chips in 2013 and 14nm in 2014.


Looks like it won't be a real shrink:

The 14XM FinFET manufacturing process node being introduced by Globalfoundries Inc. for volume production in 2014 is aimed at reducing power consumption, but it will provide users with little or no size reduction over the previous 20-nm planar bulk CMOS node.

Such a transition between manufacturing process nodes – without a die footprint shrink as a clear cost saving as a driver – will be a first in the history of IC miniaturization.
