..test chips running on 16nm FinFET.....consistent with volume production starting around mid next year.......me thinks at least

Not historically, Andy.

See my post here: #msg-97689865

It's been more than 2 years since the first 20nm test chip - and still no parts have launched. Based on that, 16nm test chips showing up now would imply volume production in mid to late 2016.

Unless they are quicker with 16nm FinFETs than they were with 20nm....
